schweitzdm How is 1 false?

The AN notes state: "it is possible to assign a utility score to any portfolio"

A utility score will differ from person to person, but for John Doe, he could use utility scores to rank the two portfolios, couldn't he?
charliedba You can assign an utility score but you cannot say 10 is 5 times better than 2.
sangiljin Utility score is "ordinal" or "interval", not "ratio".
