If you can’t add, how can you average?
Using an interval scale? I don’t have anything to contribute to the question of interpersonal utility comparison, but the average of two values from the same agent’s utility function is easy enough, while addition is still undefined.
I presume the average in question is interpersonal, not intertemporal, as we are discussing status conflicts (between individuals).
