EPTLW strikes me as similar to all the highly emotive supposed counterexamples to consequentialism. On the one side, you've got limbic system triggering language like "unimaginably intense agony", and on the other you've got a boring old representation of a number whose size our empathy is utterly incapable of approaching. When I adjust for this bias, EPTLW is clearly false.
