Then you should have no trouble explaining how the supposed error you detected invalidates the comparison I was making in that comment. Why not try that approach, instead of repeated mention of the general need for precision when distinguishing values and beliefs?
I shall provide the template:
“User:Clippy, you are in error to raise the issue of whether User:Zvi’s father had a sharp, sudden change in values, in response to User:Armok_GoB’s reasoning from a hypothetical in which a clippy had a sharp, sudden change in values. I base this judgment on how, in that comment, you were later imprecise in distinguishing values—“ought” statements—from facts—“is” statements. Your imprecision in that comment undermines your counter-analogy as follows: ____ ”
What would you place in the underscore stream at the end?
I don’t have a problem with your question modified to use the word “value” where that is what you meant, and your mistake is not a valid excuse not to answer it. Your mistake can however lead to other problems as I mentioned when first pointing it out, and even if it doesn’t lead you into making that sort of mistake, it can introduce or reinforce the confusion in people who read it.
