    Hey everyone, We are currently working on translating UPB into Russian and have one conceptual question. We think that a lot of confusion comes from the word Preferable in the name. The way we translate it now may go down in history, so we want to be as accurate as possible. Despite the suffix "able", the word means "more desirable or suitable, better or best." and thus so many people think that UPB is actions that all people SHOULD (instead of CAN) prefer at any time in any place. Would you agree that based on the definition of words UPB means universally best actions, where the actual meaning in the theory is actions that people can universally prefer? In other words, the problem is that BEST is not equal to CAN PREFER. Thanks! Alex
