I still see no justification for the claim that emotional value judgement and "thoughtful" value judgement are in all cases separate, or that one is real and the other is not, or even that they are separate in the case mentioned above.
Meanwhile, what I -do- see in that study is that what you would characterize as an "emotional value judgement" - say..chemical dependence, or eating disorders. Somehow, in your system...a real good thing™, provided that the brain is positively rewarded for this behavior.
You know what I think...I think you googled "hedonic" and pasted whatever you thought would lend your ramblings credence..and never bothered to read the paper at all.
