I find that careful introspection always dissolves the conceptual frames within which my preferences are formulated but generally leaves the actionable (but not the non-actionable) preferences intact.
I don't follow. Can you give examples? What's a conceptual frame, and what's an actionable vs. non-actionable preference? I infer the actionable/non-actionable distinction is related to the keep/don't keep decision, but the terminology sounds to me like it just means "a preference you can satsify" vs. "a preference you can't act to satisfy".
