I think it's legitimate to extend the meaning of the term to "strong agreement among the different utility functions an individual maximizes in different situations."

Me too. I consider the difference in coherency issues between CEV(humanity) and CEV(pedanterrific) to be one of degree, not kind. I just thought that might be what lessdazed was objecting to, that's all.

Okay, so I'm not the only one. Lessdazed: is that your objection to "individual CEV" or were you talking about something else?
