Before running CEV, we are going to have to make a lot of decisions about what constitutes a human utility function, how to extract it, how to assess strength of opinions, how to resolve conflicts between different preferences in the same person, how to aggregate it, and so on. So the ultimate CEV is path dependent, dependent on the outcome of those choices.
Using an unlosing algorithm could be seen as starting on the path to CEV earlier, before humans have made all those decisions, and letting the algorithm solve make some of those decisions rather than ourselves. This could be useful if some of the components on the path to CEV are things where our meta-decision skills (for instructing the unlosing agent how to resolve these issues) are better than our object level decision skills (for resolving the issues directly).
