7. See Jamieson (2009, p. 243) who makes a distinction between utilitarianism
on the one hand and satisficing versions of consequentialism on the other
hand. According to Jamieson, utilitarianism '...requires the identification
and pursuit of a single best outcome or one of a set of outcomes that contain
the highest achievable value'.

defence, see Rogers (2010).

10. Bentham (1789, chap. IV, sec. VI), Mill (1861, chap. II, par. 19) and Sidgwick
(1907, p. 413) have already pointed out the distinction between utilitarian-
ism's theory of the right and decision procedure.
