Human utility functions are relative, contextual, and include semi-independent positive-negative axes. You can’t model all that crap with one number.
Of course you can.
It just won’t be a very good model.
What do you think would work better as a simplified model of utility, then? It seems you think that having orthogonal utility and disutility values would be a start.
