Most people choose the many dust specks over the torture. Some people argued that "human values" includes having a utility aggregation function that rounds tiny (absolute value) utilities to zero, thus giving the "dust specks" answer. No, Eliezer said; this was an error in human reasoning. Is it an error, or a value?

I'm not sure. I think the answer most people give on this has more to do with fairness than rounding to zero. Yeah, it's annoying for me to get a dust speck in my eye, but it's unfair that someone should be tortured for 50 years just to spare me (and 3^^^3 others) from dust specks. I would choose getting a dust speck in my eye over someone else being tortured, and I think most people are similar enough to me that I can assume the same of the other 3^^^3 people.
