"Add in a time limit and calculation rate, and you're back to normal rationality" - I am intentionally modelling a theoretical construct, not reality. Claims that my situation isn't realistic aren't valid, as I have never claimed that this theoretical situation does correspond to reality. I have purposefully left this question open.

Ai-yah. That's fine, but please then be sure to caveat your conclusion with "in this non-world..." rather than generalizing about nonexistence of something.
