It's often difficult to figure out which human preferences are moral v. amoral. That would be a vastly more challenging task for an alien species, such that we'd probably be better off in most cases by prohibiting ourselves from sorting alien values in that way.
That isn't a good reason to subsume moral values under values in the human case.
