I'd like to note that there is no need in my model for researchers themselves to make any claims of goodness, merely claims of naturalism. The general publich believes the naturalistic fallacy and will make that inference on their own.

Hmm, a good point. Unfortunately, naturalism and its associated terminology are very useful when discussing evolution and ev-psych -related matters, so I don't see any obvious solution to the problem.
