This is fine, but unfair, especially so for discussion. It takes years to familiarize oneself with the field. I’m not saying I agree with these arguments or that they haven’t been dealt with, but I haven’t seen their treatment in over two years on LessWrong, and the arguments don’t seem obviously wrong (to me). …And Brian Tomasik is moderately familiar with the field (though no expert).
Could you at least link to some resources you think answer these objections?
You say that “all these arguments” have been discussed before. Can you point to an explicit discussion of the objection that “CEV will (almost certainly) never happen”? When Luke and Brian discussed these issues, Brian raised that same objection, which Luke never replied to. (Brian was at the time posting under the pseudonym ‘Alan Dawrst’.) A subsequent comment in which I politely asked Luke or others familiar with the field for elaboration was not addressed either.
Downvoted for posting without bothering to familiarize with the current state of the field. All these arguments have been discussed before.

I’ve raised that objection on a number of occasions—e.g. here, here, here, here and here.
I note that, on no occasion was there any attempt at counter-arguing.
