and what attitude were you expressing to steven0461′s negative judgement about the TSUF when you said this:
Acknowledgement that yes, technically, one of the infinite number of utility functions which can result in a given behavior over time for a given input happens to be the one he mentions.

Did you mean to claim that some other utility function also results in the given behavior, but isn’t useless like the TSUF is?
Someone seems to have voted down the entire subthread; I wonder why.
An infinite number of of utility functions, some of them simpler and more useful than others.
