It’s not so much the “genuinely omnipotent” bit that I have philosophical problems with as the idea of “ontologically basic mental entities”. I don’t think this is the place to go into it fully, but suffice it to say that nowadays I’m not sure if that even makes sense. If I don’t think a situation makes sense, how can I assign it a probability?
Of course, I could weigh that against the probability that I’m mistaken, but I’m not sure whether we’re meant to take that kind of thing into account.

My understanding is that we’re absolutely supposed to take that sort of thing into account.
Yeah I think you’re right; I hereby retract my worries!
