In my experience, people mostly haven’t had the view of “we can just do CEV, it’ll be fine” and instead have had the view of “before we figure out what our preferences are, which is an inherently political and messy question, let’s figure out how to load any preferences at all.”
It seems like there needs to be some interplay here—”what we can load” informs “what shape we should force our preferences into” and “what shape our preferences actually are” informs “what loading needs to be capable of to count as aligned.”
