Well, in fact, Novamente is **not** constrained from having Dutch books made against it, because it is not a perfectly consistent probabilistic reasoner.

It seeks to maintain probabilistic consistency, but balances this with other virtues...

This is really a necessary consequuence of trying to deal with complex situations using relatively limited computational resources, as Pei has repeatedly pointed out

The scenario I described was in fact a dutch book scenario...

The next step might then be to show how Novamente is constrained from allowing dutch books to be made against it. This would prove Novamente's probabilistic reasoning to be coherent in the sense meant by De Finetti.
