Jon ,
the "all" was in reference to the huge number that can't be quantified , any one of which can't be quantified either .

"Comparisons are odious ", we know that at the most basic level , at cultural and personal levels it would rarely be considered , Solomon excepted .

That may be so George. In an ideal world, we could all have exactly what each one of us wants. In a not-so-deal world, society has to make comparisons of benefit. If the decision is made not to provide quantifiable comparisons between choices, then society as a whole suffers because it will not always get to appreciate that other, better, choices could have been made.
