I think that, as you've stated this, I agree with you mostly. I mightn't go so far as to say the statement "(action) is (value judgment)" is erroneous, as long as it's understood that we're talking in terms of a subjective standard of "good/bad." I believe it's obvious that most or all "objective" sources of morality (like the abrahamic god) can be dismissed out-of-hand.
I've always wondered if one could statistically assess good/bad/moral/immoral in terms of 1) neuronormativity and 2) the action/hormone/enzyme output of these brains. Step-by-step, I mean: 1) statistically determine the average brain, 2) quantify the action of things like serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin in response to various actions. Now, of course, this framework would be in terms of, say, "dopaminergic morality," but, you know. Just spit-ballin' here.
