Sorry to be annoying but after reading the post “Animals of Uncertain Sentience” I am still very confused about the scope of this work
My understanding is that any practical how to make decisions is out of the scope of that post. You are only looking at the question of whether the tools used should in theory be aiming to maximise true EV or not (even in the cases where those tools do not involve calculating EV).
If I am wrong about the above do let me know!
Basically I find phrases like”EV maximization decision procedure” and “using EV maximisation to make these decisions” etc confusing. EV maximisation is a goal that might or might not be best served with a EV calculation based decision procedure, or by a decision procedure that does not involve any EV calculations. I am sorry I know this is persnickety but thought I would flag the things I a finding confusing. I do think being a bit more concise about this would help readers understand the posts.
