I think this is a valid point, although some people might be taking issue with the title. There’s a question about how one should choose actions, and in this case, the utility is relative to that of other actions as you point out (a +1000 action sounds good until you see that another action has +10100). And then there’s a philosophical question about whether or not utility corresponds to an absolute measure, which runs orthogonal to the post.
