The argument has merit, but the conclusion (7) needs to be replaced with something more appropriate in light of (3). You should edit your values to more closely match an amalgam of the many influences that affected you. Or better yet, as Alicorn says, have your values written down somewhere. Including your acceptance of rational change - which puts an interesting twist on the whole deal.
Agreed. Also, TDT adds another interesting twist. If I always do whatever I would've precommitted to doing earlier, how far should I roll back my morality once I notice the argument?
