CHOICE VS DECIDABILITY
We often conflate these two terms when they refer to very different conditions.
We CHOOSE PREFERENCES, but TRUTHS are DECIDABLE.
Choosing a preference requires that you contribute information to a comparison in order to make a choice, because only your preference provided decidability between members of a comparison.
Deciding whether a statement is true or not requires that you can decide between members of a comparison WITHOUT contributing information in order to make a decision, and where your preference is irrelevant.
Choice = Preference (or undecidable).
Decidability = Truth (or not), regardless of preference.
