I mentioned the utilitarian voting method, also known as score voting. This is the most accurate way to gauge peoples preferences (especially if the amount of nuance is unbounded e.g 0,827938222...) if you don’t have to deal with people voting strategically (which would be the case if we were just checking people’s utility function)
EDIT: Or maybe not? I’m not an expert on social choice theory, but I’m not entirely confident that Bayesian regret is the best metric anymore. So if a social choice theorist thinks I made a mistake, please let me know.
