How about CEV<the smart people>?

Yes, that would be preferable. But only because I assert a correlation between the attributes that produce what we measure as g and with personality traits and actual underlying preferences. A superintelligence extrapolating on <the smart people>'s preferences would, in fact, produce a different outcome than one extrapolating on <the rest>.

ArisKataris's accusation that you don't understand CEV means misses the mark. You can understand CEV and still not conclude that CEV<humanity> is necessarily a good thing.
