This sounds like a "tree falling in the woods" type argument, at least the way you have it laid our here. They using the word "want" to mean fundamentally different things. Subhan is using "want" to include all mental processes that encourage you to behave in a certain way, which I think is a categorization error that is causing him to come to wrong conclusions.
