Both you and Eliezer seem to be replying to this argument:
People only intrinsically desire pleasure.
An FAI should maximize whatever people intrinsically desire.
Therefore, an FAI should maximize pleasure.
I am convinced that this argument fails for the reasons you cite. But who is making that argument? Is this supposed to be the best argument for hedonistic utilitarianism?
