Well, you’re right, but I wasn’t completely satisfied by such a blunt argument and went on to invent an extra layer of rationalization: justify non-additivity with proximity. Of course none of this matters except as a critique of the “shut up and multiply” maxim. I wouldn’t want to become a utility-additive mind without proximity modifiers. Maybe Eliezer would; who knows.
