Yeah I think you have to go with the subjective meaning. I don't think you can talk about objective benefits, otherwise things go to hell very quickly. Where do drugs (legal or illegal), alcohol, tobacco, sugary foods, fatty foods, fast cars, hybrids, condoms, birth control pills, church donations, etc all fall?

It really depends on who you are. There's no way to have an objective arbiter who determines what is actually beneficial and what merely seems to be beneficial. At least that I know of. The problem seems intractable to me.
