Just one more brief remark:

People sometimes seem to 'treat' actions as if though they can always be
accounted for as being either egoistic or altruistic (the way it can
always make sense to speak of the temperature as warm or cold, as it
happens). My turning the page when I read the morning paper is obviously
not altruistic, ergo, it must be egoistic... 

yeah, right
