Yes. This needn't be the same for all agents: a rock would still not want anything no matter how many correct moral arguments and how much information you gave it, so CEV<rock> is indifferent to everything. Now you and Homer are much more similar than you and a rock, so your CEVs will be much more similar, but it's not obvious to me that they are necessarily exactly identical just because you're individuals of the same species.
Technically this is just EV (extrapolated volition); then CEV is just some way of compromising between your EV and everyone else's (possibly including Homer, but presumably not including rocks).
Thanks, I think I get it. Do you have any thoughts on my last two questions:
I'd say that would just mean that the two of you mean different things by the word good (see also TimS's comment), but for some reason I feel that would just amount to dodging the question, so I'm going to say "I don't know" instead.
