Quite. That Omega Corporation is closer to Friendly than is Clippy, but if it misses, it misses, and future me is tiled with things I don't want (even if future me does) rather than things I want.

If I want MBLSing but don't know it due to computational problems now, then it's fine. I think that's coherent but defining computational without allowing "my" current "preferences" to change... okay, since I don't know how to do that, I have nothing but intuition as a reason to think it's coherent.
