Borodog,

Can I ask what was educational about it? All I see is a shifting of words and definitions.

1. Preference: The thing that's determined 100% by an action
2. Purpose: The thing that's determined 100% by an action:
3. Purposeful action: The thing you do that reveals your preference (see #1)

[/ QUOTE ]

No; Purposeful actions are determined by preferences, which are then demonstrated by those actions. How this difficult to comprehend is difficult to comprehend.
