Everything you say is true, but doesn't seem to contradict my point (if that's what you intended).

What I meant was that while I would likely experience qualitatively similar patterns of happiness to someone who never ate much sugar, I wouldn't know how my experience compared quantitatively, and that's important when measuring 'greatest sum of pleasure'.
