I know you want to end this, but please give me an example of rational 
decision-making that does not include cost/benefit analysis at the heart of the 
decision-making.  Even if you are not a utilitarian, how can you entirely 
ignore the costs and benefits of a decision?  At minimum, you need to come up 
with a pretty good reason for choosing alternative X as opposed to Y when you 
believe the relative benefits versus costs of Y are preferable to X.  Please be 
concrete.
