There could be agents that only have incomplete preferences because they haven’t bothered to figure out the correct completion. But there could also be agents with incomplete preferences for which there is no correct completion. The question is whether these agents are pressured by money-pump arguments to settle on some completion.
I understand partially ordered preferences.
Yes, apologies. I wrote that explanation in the spirit of ‘You probably understand this, but just in case...’. I find it useful to give a fair bit of background context, partly to jog my own memory, partly as a just-in-case, partly in case I want to link comments to people in future.

I don’t think this is true. You can line up states of nature in any way you like.
