It sounds to me like pjeby is talking about knee-jerk emotional reactions, not preferences.
Correct. At least in my usage of language, a "preference" is something that you don't feel "bad" about when it's not met; you merely feel an absence of "good".
IOW, it's bad enough that your preference isn't met, without feeling bad on top of it.
