I guess I’m a bit tired of “God was unable to make the show today so the part of Omniscient being will be played by Omega” puzzles, even if in my mind Omega looks amusingly like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Particularly in this case where Omega is being explicitly dishonest—Omega is claiming to be either be sufficiently omniscient to predict my actions, or insufficiently omniscient to predict the result of a ‘fair’ coin, except that the ‘fair’ coin is explicitly predetermined to always give the same result . . . except . . .
What’s the point of using rationalism to think things through logically if you keep placing yourself into illogical philosophical worlds to test the logic?
I think you’re undervaluing the value of simple respect in the equation, as opposed to strict honesty. There is the potential for simply telling your boss—“I don’t have the skill required to explain this in laymens terms yet, and you don’t have the skill required to evaluate this as raw data yet, but we have a serious problem. Give me time to get someone smarter than me to either debunk this or verify it”
It has worked for me numerous times.
