Upvoted for the phrase “Coherent Extrapolated Assholes”. Best. Insult. Ever.

Seriously, though, I don't think there are many CEAs around, anyway. (This doesn't mean there are none, either. (I was going to link to this as an example of one, but I'm not sure Hitler would have done what he did had he known about late-20th-century results about heterosis, Ashkenazi Jew intelligence, etc.)) This mean that I think it's very, very unlikely for CEV<aGroup> to be evil<army1987> (and even less likely to be evil<CEV<army1987>>), unless the membership criteria to aGroup are gerrymandered to make it so.
