I’m not as much interested in the difficulty of satisfying positional values, as in developing a typology of values, noting that positional / non-positional is a really big difference between values, and concluding that reconciling all human values is not much easier than reconciling all possible values.

I disagree with the connotation of this conclusion, and the word “reconcile” is too vague for it to have a precise denotation.
Clearly, human verbalized preferences contradict each other. In terms of “formal preference” I suspect that the same is true.
