    It is not the case that If any state of affairs is agent-essentially producible rather than repeatable across agents, D3 systematically misrepresents the scope of omnipotent power by excluding it from the domain.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Agent-essential powers may be logically incoherent (e.g., only X can do what only X can do) rather than genuine powers.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.D3 may correctly define omnipotence as maximal power consistent with logical possibility, excluding impossible states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Scope misrepresentation only occurs if agent-essential states are genuinely possible; their logical status remains disputed.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Omnipotence requires power over all possible states of affairs, including those essentially tied to specific agents.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.D3 defines omnipotence by what any agent could do, thereby excluding agent-essential powers from omnipotent scope.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A complete conception of omnipotence must include powers no other agent can exercise, not just repeatable ones.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
