I was doing so because the utiles of happiness one gets from any action are relative to the individual, therefore quantifying the amount of happiness a person will receive from a set course of action is impossible. So these subjective arguments are more or less pointless since they can be argued from many points that are all valid to the person presenting the argument, but invalid to the audience.
