Are all pleasures commensurable? Can they be evaluated on a single scale? Can some goods, like friendships, be balanced against other goods, like money?

In simple words, facing the question of plurality, stating that all pleasures feel good" is not a solution that is likely to shift those supportive of harmony through commensurability.

The concept of Smuts corresponds just to "look!" or "believe! Feel!" Yet we can not see nor experience the united and observable pleasures as well as pains.

If people prefer it over a certain pleasure, even though it is followed by pain, and if they do not exchange it for a larger quantity of the other happiness, gratification is of better nature.
