Am I allowed to post about whether a counterfactual world would be "better" in some sense, if I specify something like "If Y had happened instead of X, the number of excess deaths from then till now would be lower / economic growth would have been better" ? I don't know whether that falls under preferences disguised as beliefs.

Perhaps you can try to turn it in a more generalized form?
