How exactly do the constant utilons in the box compensate me for how I feel the day after I open the box (I could have doubled my current utility!)? The second day after (I could have quadrupled my current utility!!)? The Nth day after (FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU!!!)? I'm afraid the box will rewrite me with a simple routine that says "I have 2^(day-I-opened-the-box - 1) utility! Yay!"
