Thanks, that’s helpful! I think that footnote may have an error though. 6^10 is 60 million, implying nearly 8 OOMs from 0 to 10. The 1-10 gap would be closer to 4 OOMs if linear from 0-5 and exponential with base 6 from 0-10 though. 2-8 OOMs seems like a reasonable range to me, it’s comically broad but highlights our uncertainty about pain magnitude. I’ll definitely give Gómez-Emilsson & Percy (2023) a read, and will fork your cose and play around with the numbers as well!

Gee, not sure what happened there—thanks for pointing that out! I’ve edited the footnote.
