Yudkowsky, I was using the colloquial meaning of the word value, that is, positive value. If you insist, positive value of a healthy environment to promote the interests of, and as defined by, the entity that assesses the value. OK ? No prob for 'ownership' of the label, my issue was with the metaphor. BTW, as I respect the issues raised here, and the expertise of those who raise them, I'd love to see a post on the biases around the concept 'ownership'.
