And yet, several high-status Less Wrongers continue to affirm utilitarianism with equal weight for each person in the social welfare function. I have criticized these beliefs in the past (as not, in any way, constraining experience), but have not received a satisfactory response.

I'm not sure how that answers my question, or follows from it. Can you clarify?

It wasn't meant as an attempt to answer your question. I was pointing out that this isn't only a problem for Danaher.
