Comment on Averaging value systems is worse than choosing one

Any function which is more bumpy when it's low, and more smooth when it's high will be like that.

That's what I just said:

Only if the space is constructed to have more local maxima when f(x) is small,

You are hyper-focusing on this as if it made a difference to my proofs. Please note my previous comment: It does not matter; I never talked about the average IC over all possible agents. I only spoke of IC over various recombinations of existing agents, all of which I assumed to have IC that are local minima. The "random agent" is not an agent taken from the whole space; it's an agent gotten by recombining values from the existing agents.
