Well, okay. I said it was your concept, not your jam... but (reading back) I used the word "harm" in my argument, and lumped it in with suffering. So I actually am obligated to respond to the objection that the two are separate. So, I concede the point. They're separate... or at least separable. But they're often found together, which suggests a kind of relationship between the two.
As you know, I think pluralism beats any monistic theory. But the monistic theories are still valuable. They precisely map the moral landscape. But ultimately, each fails because it fails to conform with intuitions in some way. Especially when you bring in fringe cases.
