Yes, I understand the reward trigger mechanism.
Still, a sensory stimulus has to be present for that reward trigger to activate. Everyone has a different perception of what is "pleasing" and what is "painful" making testing the concept nearly impossible as theirs no way to guarantee people will always be pleased by the stimulus you are presenting them.

yes, I'm not arguing that everyone is the same.
We have FMRI studies that do show the common rewards for many behaviors though.
