You seem to be saying that research and discovery has some intrinsic value, in addition to the benefits of actually discovering things and understanding them. If so, what is this value ?
The only answer I can think of is something like, "learning about new avenues of research that the oracle had not yet explored", but I'm not sure whether that makes sense or not -- since the perfect oracle would explore every avenue of research, and an imperfect oracle would strive toward perfection (as long as the oracle is rational).
Well, the process of research and discovery can itself be enjoyable. That said, I don't feel that there is a need to hold onto our current enjoyable activities if a CEV can create novel superior ways for us to have fun.
