``..This (along with the rest of what you say) involves implicit (and,
I would say, mistaken) ontological premises.  What if "being" is such
that values are involved in human action in a way that makes it
possible for such action to be based on mistaken beliefs about values?
Understanding human action then requires that you understand this
feature of it. This is the premise implicitly underpinning Goethe's
Faust; it explains why Faust doesn't say "stay" to any of the
"moments"...'' Ted Winslow

You mis-understand. I was making a critique of the position, not
advocating it. The quote was not me, it was Milton Friedman. 

``Just noticed that I've confused Chuck with Friedman.  Apologies for
that.'' Ted

That's quite alright, since the above just adds some more dimensions
to the general criticism.
