Why might an additional ax have lower marginal utility for a woodsman than a box of cupcakes?    The woodsman gets more utility out of cupcakes than he gets from axes in general.   An additional ax may not benefit the woodsman, whereas a box of cupcakes probably would.    The woodsman may not like cupcakes.   An ax is far more useful for a woodsman than a box of cupcakes.
