But how do you cut out "the value-ladened approach" while discussing "goodness?"You missed my point. When gathering information, it's best to ask questions(daver49 emphasis) in a format that doesn't contain any implications of value-judgments. That way, you avoid introducing bias or derails with poorly formed and/or leading questions. Challenging people 'to do better' is guaranteed to introduce bias, if people even bother to respond to such a question.
Ben, see how you made a value statement in your clarification? It is a Catch 22. Bias appears to me to be inherent to our identity. We organize our lives and actions based on practices and principles we have personally deemed to be beneficial/better/best/good/etc,. Each of us is doing it now as we volley back and forth. Can you ask a question that does not have a hidden bias in it? What is the basic bias in the act of questioning?
