Abstract

It does seem to me worth noting that if P is a probability distribution, and if for any A and B, P B (A) = P(B >A), then P B is a probability distribution too (excepting the absurd case). What it is good for, I would like to suggest, is deliberation — the calculation of expected utilities.
