Much like how someone who really hated lutefisk would eat it if they were starving and nothing else was available, because enduring the unpleasant eating experience is not as bad as starving to death.

Yes, but I used lutefisk as an example of something that probably isn't bad all by itself, as opposed to pain, which seems like it may be.
