I agree that I'm using dissolved a bit wrong; I wrote the comment fairly late. What I meant was that the concept of "wanting" has been specified to the extent that the difference between akrasia and signaling was a practical question with actual predictive differences.

I'll go back and edit the parent to specify better when I have the chance.

Yes, I think I agree with your main point.
