I’d realized as much, but that still left me wondering what actual average “Up to 8” signifies. After allowing for different suicide methods and such, that “Up to 8″ might be 8, or it might be something like 1.1. The result of a utilitarian calculation would probably be sensitive to the real world average being ≈8 versus ≈1.
