That all sounds pretty fair! I don’t think I made it clear but I’m fairly sceptical of that particular route myself: I just don’t think our conception of “utility” is that coherent. Or to put it in Jasay’s terms: I’m not sure we have coherent answers (as a species) to the question of how to weight stuff etc.
