And yeah, it's kinda why I really prefer the term artificial. Even if it's been kinda a negative connotation in modern society (as opposed to that too-vague catch-all 'natural'), I kinda want to reclaim its original roots in the word 'artifice'. Which is just basically constructed, fashioned, made, crafted.
Also yes, I do define 'pleasure' a little different than just 'helping' or 'making happy'--but they're all things along the same service-oriented spectrum. :-}
