  1. It's not the job of 'Bayesianism' to tell you what your utility function is.

  2. This [by which I mean, "the question of where the agent's utility function comes from"] doesn't have anything to do with the question of whether Bayesian decision-making takes account of more than just the most probable hypothesis.
