I am indeed making a blanket statement about the theoretical possibilities of prediction and suggestion as a preferred or comparable replacement for allowing the user to choose for themselves, and that statement is that it's neither comparable nor preferred. Your work, at least as you present it, does not seem to collide with that statement because it asks the user for intent and then examines behaviors to see how they align with that intent... there is no inferring trap. Determining optimal action, while its own complex kettle of fish, is only a concern if it over-rules the user's decision-making WITHOUT the user opting in to such an arrangement.
