From my perspective, this style means that although I feel pretty sure that you made a relatively simple mistake somewhere, I am unable to explain it, because the text is just too hard to work with.
I’d say this style works fine for some purposes, but “finding the truth” isn’t one of them. (The same is probably true about the continental philosophy in general.)
My guess is that you use words “value drift” to mean many other things, such as “extrapolation of your values as you learn”, “changes in priorities”, etc.

I’m not sure this is my fault; I think other people use value drift to mean many things because it’s confused, i.e. people aren’t quite sure what they mean when they talk about it. Much of my goal is, if nothing else, to expose that confusion, and if you feel I used it to mean many things that I think I succeeded in causing you to see the same thing I see, even if you attribute the confusion to me alone rather than to everyone talking about this topic. My rhetoric was perhaps not quite careful enough to help you tell apart any unique confusion on my part from confusion created by a confused topic.
