  Notice that Mark II is a transformation of Mark I. The transformation amounts to re-normalizing the optimality criterion. Not only was the move from Mark I to Mark II on Ramsey’s part ingenious, it also displayed his moral integrity. It would have been easy enough for him to ask DM instead to discount future consumption and expand the range of circumstances in which Utilitarianism provides an answer to the problem DM is attempting to solve. He chose not to do that.
