Not to be judgmental (although you don't like things being non judgmental); you've got it all backwards here.
You don't like situational ethics -- fine, I'm not a fan either. Also, I don't much care for moral relativism.
I was just saying that economists try to keep their value judgments separate from their fact finding.
That doesn't mean that values and ethics aren't important. For instance, an economist might predict that a certain government policy would improve the welfare of thousands of people, but it would also require a tax rise. Wouldn't you rather have elected politicians make the final decision about the policy -- i.e. the value judgment -- rather than a nameless, faceless economist?

And YOUR not being judgmental by still pushing this psychological, nonsensical vomit on me?
LOL!
You're worse than me and obnoxious to boot! Perhaps for you to live in a fairy tale world is best.
