I agree. The problem with pain quantification is that some people are just plain whiney when thay are sick or in pain(not unlike myself) and others (like my dad) aren't affected by pain like regular people. Obviously having your big toe sliced in half is gonna kill, but on not so serious injuries and maladies there is no way to compare extent of pain and pain thresholds since we all respond differently... just my inexpert 2 cent!
