Your argument seemed to be that the fertility fall is not just a temporary thing where people’s want is currently overwhelmed by other factors, but a stronger diswant that cannot be counterbalanced by shifting those factors. Revealed preference only shows what things are like with the current balance of factors.

I don’t expect the factors to change, they are downstream of our social fabric. A different society won’t have these factors, but ours does
