Well, I think the concept we have to make clear is "agent with given utility function". We don't need any human-specific concepts, and they're hopelessly complex anyway: let the FAI figure out the particulars on its own. Moreover, the concept of an "agent with given utility function" is something I believe I'm already relatively near to formalizing.
If the agent in question has a well-defined utility function, why is he deferring to the FAI to explain it to him?
Because he is bad at introspection and his only access to the utility function is through a noisy low-bandwidth sensor called "intuition".
