Absolute goodness seems tautalogically good. If you pick any one good trait or action and maximize it it grows ominous again.
That's why I chose it.
Like the smiling example I gave.
Oh, actually I didn't see the connection with the smile-tile and the making people smile statements at first read. Since it isn't quite correct to say making people smile is good, but rather people smiling is typically a sign something good has happened. So a better (albeit common) example might be making people happy is good, wireheading is scary. But any connection to the top level post is growing tenuous.
