Yep, that’s right. In my top-level comment, I said, “In any event, many elites are not even systematic or consequentialist in translating utilities times probabilities into actions.” Still, on big government-policy questions that affect society (rather than personal actions, relationships, etc.) elites tend to be (relatively) more interested in utilitarian calculations.
