Utilitarian would rightly attack this, since the probabilities almost certainly won’t wind up exactly balancing.
Utilitarian’s reply seems to assume that probability assignments are always precise. We may plausibly suppose, however, that belief states are sometimes vague. Granted this supposition, we cannot infer that one probability is higher than the other from the fact that probabilities do now wind up exactly balancing.
