| Mar 15, 2016 at 15:44 | comment | added | ghostarbeiter | I came here because this question appeared at the top of the list of questions with recent activity. My guess is that someone discovered it through a search engine like Google and answered it, which caused it to have recent activity and caused it to reappear for the rest of us. | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 15:42 | comment | added | ghostarbeiter | "Lose out" is not the same as "lose", just like "find out" is not the same as "find". Phrasal verbs consisting of a verb+preposition often have a very different meaning from the verb alone. At dictionary.com, lose out (definition 27) is defined as to suffer defeat or loss; fail to obtain something desired. In the second sense it can refer to an opportunity cost, which suits your desired meaning of "not receiving a utility". | |
