Correction. I wrote

>I would choose the $1000 alternative (in Newcomb's paradox)

Sorry, sorry! That was a slip of the tounge (or finger). I
meant, of course, the $1000000 alternative, the "modest"
alternative.

BTW. I think that Hal Finney is basically right that it is
the invocation of infinities that lies behind the paradoxes
in the shooting room.
