Bar Luzon argues that akrasia is irrational because it leads to violating a principle called Avoid Treachery. In response, I argue that Avoid Treachery is insufficiently motivated, that it presupposes a picture of rational inference that defenders of akrasia have independent reason to reject, and that there are models in which Avoid Treachery is false
