I suspect there’s a LOT of handwaving in trying to apply theory to actual decisions or humans. These graphs omit time, so don’t include “how long spent in worse states, and how long the preferred state lasts” in their overall preference ordering. In known agents (humans), actual decisions seem to always include timeframes and path-dependency.
