And that you care only about the benefits you confer, not the log of the benefits, or your ability to visualize someone benefited by your action, etc.
I suspect that the ability to visualize someone benefited by your action is often a proxy for being certain that your action actually helped someone, and that people often place additional value on that certainty.
