That's a little unfair to the concept of CEV. If irreconcilable value conflicts persist after coherent extrapolation, I would think that a CEV function would output nothing, rather than using majoritarian analysis to resolve the conflict.

'Coherent' in CEV means that it makes up a coherent value system for all of humanity. By definition that means that there will be no value conflicts in CEV. But it does not mean that you will necessarily like it.
