the first description I came across with this had a huge difference between boxes A and B on the order of 1000 vs 1,000,000.
At that level there doesn’t seem much point even intending to 2 box, better to let the predictor have his good record as a predictor while I get the million. an improvement of an extra 1000 just isn’t convincing.
though restated with a smaller difference like 2000 in one box, 1000 in the other and the choice of 2 boxing for 3000 vs 2000 is more appealing.
He’s trying to trick the predictor into thinking that he’s going to one-box, but then to actually two-box.
I see now.
