Value neutrality: A standard which is claimed when a value-system is so deeply taken for granted that its outcomes appear as non-normative although achieved by the regulation of strict criteria of value and value judgment (e.g., the canons of scientific method).
A fallacious standard which is claimed when a value-system is so deeply taken for granted that its outcomes appear as value free. For example, true scientific findings may be impartial, but are not value neutral because strict criteria of value and value judgment, the canons of scientific method, have been applied.
