Paul (2014\, 2015) argues that one cannot rationally decide whether to have a new and very different experience&mdash\;like becoming a parent for the first time&mdash\;on the basis of one&rsquo\;s prior judgments about what it would be like to have that experience\, and the subjective value of having that experience with those 'what it is like' properties. In Cath (2018) I argued that &lsquo\;what it is like&rsquo\;-knowledge comes in degrees and\, appealing to this idea\, I also suggested that some instances of Paul&rsquo\;s argument schema might commit a fallacy of equivocation. The purpose of this paper is to explore a range of different replies that might be given to this equivocation objection\, including replies that appeal to first-personal perspectives\, the difficulties in comparing experiences across different sensory modalities\, and holistic views of experience on which phenomenal properties cannot be broken down into different &ldquo\;building blocks&rdquo\;.
