Comment on Utilons vs. Hedons

Hedons won't be a subset of utilons if we happen not to value all hedons. One might not value hedons that arise out of false beliefs, for example. (From memory, I think Lawrence Sumner is a proponent of a view something like this.)

NB: Even if hedons were simply a subset of utilons, I don't quite see how that would mean that this post "doesn't really make sense".
