My recent paper touches upon preference aggregation a bit in section 8, BTW, though it's mostly focused on the question of figuring out a single individual's values. (Not sure how relevant that is for your comments, but thought maybe a little.)

Thanks, I'll look into it.

(And all my ranting still didn't address the fundamental difficulty: There is no rational way to choose from among different projections of values held by multiple agents, projections such as Rawlsianism and utilitarianism.)
