Comment on Average utilitarianism must be correct?

Did you even read the next paragraph where I tried to explain why it does have a bearing on what you're saying? Do you have a response?

I read it. I don't understand why you keep bringing up "u", whatever that is. You use u to represent the utility function on a possible world. We don't care what is inside that utility function for the purposes of this argument. And you can't* get out of taking the expected value of your utility function by transforming it into another utility function. Then you just have to take the expected value of that new utility function.

Read steven0461's comment above. He has it spot on.
