Thanks! I really like that example you gave about asking seven year olds. This is definitely a major criticism of mine of Bob Fischer’s book. It seems like different experts could easily have come to very different conclusions because of what models they choose or, as you point out, how they weigh them.
Thanks. Relatedly, you may be interested in the comments from me and Wladimir on this post from Bentham’s Bulldog arguing for the possibility of intense agony in many species.
