(refutation of disagreement with 5. B.)

Refutation of claiming that it is worthwhile not to suffer avoidable harm:

• By definition, harm represents something of negative of worth, as opposed to worth occurring during a time as in what is worthwhile. Therefore it is incoherent to deny that it is worthwhile for any given person not to suffer avoidable harm.
• Anyone who does not find it worthwhile to avoid avoidable harm is indeed irrational and needs therapy for self-hatred or masochism.
