I am wary of using arguments along the lines of "CEV<not everyone> is better for everyone than CEV<everyone>". If calculating based on a subset happens to be the most practical instrumentally useful hack for implementing CEV<everyone> then an even remotely competent AI can figure that out itself.

I would still implement the CEV<subset> option but I'd do it for real reasons.

Yes. I really don't want the volition of psychopaths, suicidal fanatics and jerks in general to be extrapolated in such a way as it could destroy all that I hold dear. Let this be my solemnly sworn testimony made public where all can see. Allow me (wedrifid_2011) to commit to my declaration of my preferences as of the 21st of October by requesting that you quote me, leaving me unable to edit it away.
