Ah, yeah, thanks for underlining that, I say “elasticity effect” as opposed to elasticity, maybe that’s not clear enough.
My final comment is that I am puzzled by your conclusion regarding milk given that t welfare metrics you use are just scales from better to worse and do not have an interpretation for their absolute value.
The quality of life evaluations both have 0 for a life with neutral value, if that’s what you mean.
Each point in the scoring corresponds to 1⁄100 of the difference between a neutral life and a life with all interests satisfied, for a human, for one day.
So the estimated net harm of a cup of milk is like feeling 1% worse for a day, on my assumptions.
