Peter, I'm not sure what the chain of causality was there. (Let me know if I've previously written it down.) I think you or Nick Hay said that utility functions obey positive affine transformations, Marcello said that preserved the ratios of intervals, and I sketched out the interpretation for optimization problems.
I just meant that I haven't seen it elsewhere in the Literature. You're right, I should have credited the Summer of AI group.
