That was eminently readable. Thank you.
I hope you don't mind if I ask for elaboration?
I'm fairly unlikely to read a dry, mathy post pointing out mistakes that people make when wielding utility in making decisions. Clear, humorous examples help, as does making abstract things concrete when possible -- the radioactive utilities made me laugh. The post was fairly long, but the summary wrapped things up nicely.
