Yes, (like I've stated in the other comments here), if you use a more broad definition of "mistaken about a want", then we can easily conclude that one can be mistaken about their wants. I thought the narrowness of the definition of 'want' I was using would have been clear from the context, but I apparently succumbed to the illusion of transparency.
