AFAIK, CEV is not well-defined or fully specified, except as a declaration of intent, a research direction. Thus, it does not make sense to say whether CEV as a model for FAI does or does not in fact do specific things. It only makes sense to say whether the intention of CEV’s developers for it to do or not do those things, and whether CEV’s specification so far contradicts or does not contradict those things.
AFAIU, CEV’s developers’ intent and CEV’s specification so far (with added “unanimousity” condition, if it is not present in the standard CEV specification) do not contradict my statement.
Just to make sure I understand your claim: you’re asserting that we can identify some set of people in the world right now who are “CEV’s developers,” and if we asked them “does CEV fulfill the wish(es) of literally everyone while affecting everything else the least?” they would agree that it clearly does?
No, because “does CEV fulfill....?” is not a well-defined or fully specified question. But I think, if you asked “whether it is possible to build FAI+CEV in such a way that it fulfills the wish(es) of literally everyone while affecting everything else the least”, they would say they do not know.

Ah, OK. I completely misunderstood your claim, then. Thanks for clarifying.
