You'd be surprised. There are plenty of people who refuse to assign a value on life, feeling that doing so would somehow diminish a life's importance, or be immoral. (This type of person seems to be overrepresented in the humanities...)
Well, it also seems like a no-brainer to me the Breatharianism is insane, but I know people certainly subscribe to it. What I meant by that was more that it seems well-established among LessWrong readers.
At least the seasoned Less Wrong readers. But we should never write our posts only to the established audience - newcomers to the site should also find something of value.
