Thank you! I'd never really thought of that other (the latter) approach to utilitarianism; that explains a lot.
Nitpick: The use of 'crystallize' in regard to 'thoughts', I think, would only be recommendable when describing a particularly desirable thought process. I understood crystallize to mean elucidate, in this context, but cause for confusion is there.
Thanks! I was sort of using a word experimentally, and it's good to know that it can be a bit confusing. For the record, yes, I did mean it in an elucidate sort of way.
