Wait really? I'd say that I could very clearly say that the gaps in utility between some experiences are much larger than the gaps in utility between others.

Wait really? I'd say that I could very clearly say that the gaps in utility between some experiences are much larger than the gaps in utility between others. I'd rather bang my shin than stub my toe, but the gap between those is much smaller than the gap between a toe stub and being tortured to death. I can't give you precise numbers for all of that. But I couldn't give you the numbers involved in throwing a baseball either, yet my brain can still somehow compute the air resistance and everything else to give me the correct angle I should throw at. Just because you don't know a number doesn't mean you aren't subconsciously using it.
