Oops yes, fundamentals between my and Bruce’s cases are very similar. Should have read Bruce’s comment!
The claim we’re discussing—about the possibility of small steps of various kinds—sounds kinda like a claim that gets called ‘Finite Fine-Grainedness’/‘Small Steps’ in the population axiology literature. It seems hard to convincingly argue for, so in this paper I present a problem for lexical views that doesn’t depend on it. I sort of gestured at it above with the point about risk without making it super precise. The one-line summary is that expected welfare levels are finitely fine-grained.
