My objection to that one is slightly different, yes. But I think it does derive from the same considerations of vast utility/disutility that drive the historically forbidden topic, and is subject to some of the same pitfalls (as well as some others less relevant here).
There are also a few specific torture scenarios which are much more closely linked to the historically forbidden topic, and which come up, however obliquely, with remarkable frequency.
Hmm...
I can't think of any other possible examples off the top of my head. were these the ones you were thinking of?
Also Pascal's mugging (though I suppose how closely related that is to the HFT depends on where you place the emphasis) and a few rarer variations, but you've hit the main ones.
