What is invalid with answering? “By performing further computation and evidence gathering.”
And if Omega doesn’t give that option, then that significantly changes the state of the world, and hence your priority function—including the priority of assigning the relative priority between A and B.
As I said on the top level post, you can’t treat this priority assignment as non-self-referential.
Edited to add: You should not call people confused because they don’t want to cache thoughts for which they do not as of yet know the answer.
I don’t believe any of my own preferences are final and stable. The intent is to characterize the structure that (I believe) an idealized agent would have / that the output of my morality has / that I aim at (without necessarily ever reaching).

Yes, the question only applies to final, stable preferences – but AFAIK not everyone agrees that final, stable preferences should be totally ordered.
How do you conclude that a preference is final and stable?
That seems an extremely strong statement to be making about the inner workings of your own mind.
