I did finally read the 2004 CEV paper recently, and it was fairly reassuring in a number of ways. (The “Jews vs Palestinians cancel each other but Martin Luther King and Gandhi add together” thing sounded… plausible but a little too cutely elegant for me to trust at first glance.)
I guess the question I have is (this is less relevant to the current discussion but I’m pretty curious) - in the event where CEV fails to produce a useful outcome (i.e. values diverge too much), is there a backup plan, that doesn’t hinge on someone’s judgment? (Is there a backup plan, period?)
