No, I don't. I'm asking for your definition of the extremes and the measure of what falls where on the range, because I don't share whatever intuition you're using.
ETA: Wireheading is a single thing with arguments for and against it. Part of your (or OP's) argument seems to be "wireheading is bad so let's avoid things that are sufficiently like it". In that case I'm asking, what makes fiction more like wireheading than those other things?
