I would agree that having a clear decision objective is important. I would go further: without an objective, why should anyone care how the agent (who, by definition, takes action) feels about their circumstances? I note in your final sentence that you see things differently, but I don’t have a killer argument to the contrary.
I can see the need for subjective probability, but only in model selection. Thereafter, you’re working to find a strategy maximising the expected value of an objective function. I recorded my thoughts here.
Thank you for the quick reply.
