Pretty much this. I think the "revealed preferences" stuff applies in some cases but i believe even @dwr.eth uses them too much.

Example - 
assumption - "Unhealthy person states that they want to eat healthy but continue to eat unhealthy food so their revealed preference is that they want to eat unhealthy"

possible reality - Unhealthy food is more readily and cheaply available than healthy food. If healthy food was present near to the person then maybe the person would at least start eating somewhat healthy.

The gnashing of teeth over @dwr.eth's use of "revealed preference" comes down to a simple difference of perspective:

He's a product guy, he just wants you to use his product. 
As long as you use it, then whether or not you want-to-want to use his product is not a matter of concern.

Yep, just care about finding reality (despite whatever way I wish I was)

It reminds me of 2010-era Google days when "data" was used to justify whatever decision the PM/VP was trying to shovel that day.

Just a rebranding of the same premise, laundering superficial outcomes as driving forces.

Tbf 2012-era Google was all SVP vibes and fear driven, so that wasn't an improvement.
