Eliezer appears to be asserting that CEV<someone> is equal for all humans.

The "C" in "CEV" stands for "Coherent". The concept refers to techniques of combining the wills of a bunch of agents. The idea is not normally applied to a population consisting of single human. That would just be EV<someone>. I am not aware of any evidence that Yu-El thinks that EV<someone> is independent of the <someone>.
