As opposed to Philip Tetlock's notion of a taboo tradeoff? Which is, in gist, anything that people refuse to do cost-benefit analysis about. Consider the common revulsion to setting a dollar value on a human life — or asking someone in Western society to sell their child.
I don't think the title analyzes as "(You should) taboo (the word) 'tradeoff'."
Interesting. "Taboo X" is such a familiar pattern here, I had assumed that was what it meant.
