I agree it would be nice if things were better written up; right now there is the description I linked and Hal Finney's.

If individual moments can be arbitrarily good, then I agree you have unbounded utilities again.

If you count the number of paperclips you would again get into trouble; the analogous thing to do would be to count the mesure of paperclips.
