It's true that we can't observe "greater satisfaction" directly, but we can know that people are compelled to move in this direction if we understand the proof. You have not understood the first thing about this knowledge yet you are telling me that it's a does, not a must. If I can't get past first base, I can't continue.
My understanding doesn't matter, because you can't show me the basis for the must, you can't show me any empirical, replicable observation leading to knowledge that we are compelled.
