Two questions:

  1. What kind of decisions do you have in mind? Presumably I'm not rolling each time I take a step (or not) while walking down the street, right?

  2. Is there any reason not to say 100% for all my decisions on Tuesday? (Assuming I don't happen to find myself in any adversarial interactions with Omega.)

  1. See my answer to gjm.

  2. Let's say I'm lazy, and I can't decide for sure if I want vanilla or chocolate. Rolling the quantum die seems easier.
