Again: "Utils" has all the same problems, and more. For a single agent, the comparison is meaningful.
If you prefer sticking to stick with the existing terminology despite it suggesting even worse meaningless comparisons, OK, but don't act like you are pointing out anything that isn't obvious, or that is specific to my suggestion.
