I think without denying multiples' lived experiences, you can say that headmates are people of unusually low (uptime × compute)? It seems possible that a multiple is capable of experiencing somewhat more joy or sorrow than a typical singlet, but it's still fundamentally bounded by brain capabilities. Probably the bounds on the brain's capability for joy or sorrow or whatnot can be estimated by looking at people on drugs or with mental illnesses that increase emotional range.
Also, like, ignoring effects on the person being hurt, hurting people is actually often bad for the person doing it.
