But you can't take utilons from the apple tree and give them to the children.
I guess I meant 'transferable' instead of 'fungible', or perhaps something else. The utility monster being associated with more utility does not require that the rest of the world be associated with less.
'Fungible' means you don't care where you get your utilons from, as long as it's the same number of utilons.
Yes, I used the wrong term. For 'fungible' to be cogent in reference to a utility monster, utilons would have to be transferable.
