me: A < B < C < D doesn’t imply that there’s some k such that kA>D
Tomh: Yes it does.
As Salutator stated, perhaps I should not have used the notation I did in my example. What I mean by ‘<’ in the context of harms is “is preferred to”. What I meant when I said that there was no k such that kA > D is that the notion of multiplication does not make sense when applied to “is preferred to”. Perhaps I should not have used the notation I did. Apologies for the confusion.
