Spare us :P Not only are Stuart's advantages not really that big, but it's worthwhile to discuss things here. Something something title of this subreddit.
Hm, this makes me sad, because it means I've been unsuccessful. I've been trying to hammer on the fact that an agent's probability assignments are determined by the information it has. Since SSA and SIA describe pieces of information ("being in different worlds are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events" and "being different people are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events"), quite naturally they lead to assigning different probabilities. If you specify what information your agent is supposed to have, this will answer the question of what probability distribution to use.
My advantages might be bigger than you think... oops, I've just been informed that this is not actually a penis-measuring competition, but an attempt to get at a truth. ^_^ Please continue.
