I mean the people who claim that less vs. fewer is a useful distinction never claim that there there should be an alternative to 'more'.

Well, I do actually think that. It's just that if I were to say it in conversation then nobody would be friends with me...

What's wrong with saying ther should be a continuous-more and a discrete-more?

I remain friends with people who like the less/fewer distinction, so I don't see why liking the (erm) more/more distinction should make a difference...
