Not really; in Nozick’s original formulation omega doesn’t know what the player chooses, it can only guess. Sure it’s guess may be highly likely to be correct, but it’s still a guess. This distinction is important because if omega is absolutely certain what the player chooses it will always win. The player will only get $1000000 or $1000 but never $1001000.
Fine, replace “knowing what your opponent does” with “having a high degree of confidence in what the other player has or is going to choose”. My point stands—“knowing” is pretty much just a short way of talking about the justified high degree of confidence, anyways.
