Fair enough - a bit of reflecting might worsen the approximation, however, do our actions allow us to infer what our values would be after we take into account all possible moral arguments? This is what our terminal values are, and my main point is that actions don't tell us much about them.
Putting aside for a moment my issues with the whole idea of terminal values in the sense you seem to be imagining I would suggest that if our actions don't tell us much about them then our thoughts and words tell us even less.
On a day to day basis, sure. I accept that possibility. We don't get to consider all possible moral arguments, well, ever.
