I’m not keen on this analogy because you’re comparing the effect of the new information to an agent freely choosing to pour sand in a particular way. A confused person won’t understand why Omega couldn’t decide to distribute sand some other way—e.g. equally between the two remaining buckets.
Anyway, I think JoshuaZ’s explanation is the clearest I’ve ever seen.
