But inasmuch as it will want to want one over the other, it will want to want 2 which is guaranteed to continue to satisfice over 1 which has only a 90% chance of continuing to satisfice, so it should not want to become a maximizer.
So that's actually the "bounded utility" definition, which Stuart says he isn't using. It does seem more intuitive though... I think you can get a paradox out of Stuart's definition, actually, which should not be surprising, since it isn't a utility-maximizer.
