The "including verbal behavior" bit in the summary was really what I had in mind. I think that while we may act according to expected utility, we rarely remember to speak according to expected utility, and this is especially significant around sensitive topics where being careless with words can cause harm.
Huh. Any examples on your mind? I can't form a concrete idea of what's to be avoided.
I actually wrote all but the last two paragraphs of this post weeks and weeks ago, so I can't remember what individual things I had in mind at the time. I assign about a 65% chance that I was thinking about discussions of pickup or something similar.
