本文从统计决策理论和博弈论的角度对分级原则进行了分析。人们普遍持有一种错误的观念，认为普通人真的很清楚实际的伦理和道德问题，哲学家们只需要整理这个问题的某些难以捉摸的角落就我个人而言，我发现很难为简单的两人游戏设计任何一般的道德行为规则；累进税、关税壁垒或性精神病患者治疗的伦理复杂性超出了任何精确的概念分析。关于这些问题的决定已经并且必须做出，这并不能证明人们完全理解了这些问题的伦理方面，就像罗马人建造桥梁这一事实不能证明他们对应力力学理论有一定的定量掌握一样。
The present paper offers an analysis of grading principles from the viewpoint of statistical decision theory and game theory. The mistaken notion is widely held that the plain man is really clear about practical ethical and moral issues and that philosophers need only tidy up certain wayward corners of the subject.2 Personally I find difficult the problem of devising any general ethical rules of behavior for simple two-person games; the ethical complexities of progressive taxation, tariff barriers, or treatment of sexual psychopaths are beyond any exact conceptual analysis. That decisions are and must be made about these issues no more proves that their ethical aspects are completely understood than does the fact that the Romans built bridges prove that they had any quantitative grasp of the mechanical theory of stress.
