Imagine, for example, there exist some “S1 happiness” which is actually important for humans, and they are making decisions based on it, and some “S2 perception of happiness” which people report. People are incorrectly assuming (a) this is the same, and (b) you have good introspective access to it.
For more direct comparison than sound, imagine there isn’t such thing as money, and you ask people to report their percieved wealth on a scale 1 to 10. Now introduce money, and compare how the 1..10 rating relate to monetary wealth. I would bet you would get nonlinear relationship in this case.
