The conclusion I draw from your examples is that the human mindspace is much narrower when constrained by reality then when allowed to engage in flights of fantasy.
I agree that that there is tension between "coherent" and "extrapolated", however it looks to me secondary to more basic problems. The "extrapolated" part essentially assumes that all humans have the same value system at the core, and the "coherent" part implies that human preferences are coherent when, empirically speaking, they are not.
Yes. But it's mainly constrained by social reality, which gives you convergence for cheap.
The social reality gives convergence of behavior, not necessarily of values. Or, rather, the convergence of behavior is immediate and easily enforced; the convergence of values is a much slower and less controlled process.
