You say that "all these arguments" have been discussed before. Can you point to an explicit discussion of the objection that "CEV will (almost certainly) never happen"? When Luke and Brian discussed these issues, Brian raised that same objection, which Luke never replied to. (Brian was at the time posting under the pseudonym 'Alan Dawrst'.) A subsequent comment in which I politely asked Luke or others familiar with the field for elaboration was not addressed either.

I've raised that objection on a number of occasions - e.g. here, here, here, here and here.

I note that, on no occasion was there any attempt at counter-arguing.
