Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the discussion on my article was dominated by a huge tangent on utility functions (which I talked about, but was done in a way irrelevant to the points I was making). I think the difference was that I plugged my points into the scenarios and literature discussed here. What bothered me about your article was that it did not carefully define the relationship between your decision theory and the ethic you are arguing for, though I will read it again to give a more precise answer.
