It’s likely that some experiences are non-linear in utility per intensity.
I imagined something like having fun with my friends, or watching a funny movie, while feeling a mild pain in some part of my body. As long as I can mostly ignore it, the experience is pleasant on average. Now multiply everything by 10, and I will not be able to enjoy the fun, because I will focus on the pain.
Yeah, the proposal is to multiply the experience, not the inputs. It’s just sometimes difficult to imagine.
