not always I'm sure but if the preferences that get modified are the ones you have because you're flat out mistaken about stuff I think yeah it's reasonable to choose to change them!

also, if i went along with your arguments, then i am incentivized NOT TO EMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE, until it somehow becomes possible to batch empathize with EVERY being (far far future, if at all)

doing so stochastically means my extreme preference for accuracy in the accuracy-modification-tradeoff becomes less and less, and i WILL NEVER reach the point where i empathize with all beings
