Ha, yes, I often do that.

The motivation behind CEV also includes the idea we might be wrong about what we care about. Instead, you give your FAI an algorithm for

  • Locating people
  • Working out what they care about
  • Working out what they would care about if they knew more, etc.
  • Combining these preferences

I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to draw between values and preferences (perhaps a moral vs non-moral one?), but I don't think it's relevant to CEV as currently envisioned.
