Useful and interesting list, thanks.
I thought the point of defining CEV as what we would choose if we knew better was (partly) that you wouldn't have to subset. We wouldn't be superstitious, vengeful, and so on if we knew better.
Also, can you expand on what you mean by "Rawlesian Reflective Equilibrium"? Are you referring (however indirectly) to the "veil of ignorance" concept?

I am only part way through but I really recommend that link. So far it's really helped me think about this.
The rest of Rawls' Theory of Justice is good too. I'm trying to figure out for myself (before I finally break down and ask) how CEV compares to the veil of ignorance.
