What exactly do you think is happening in disputes about legal interpretation or legal change?
I'm not saying that every such dispute is caused by value differences, but a substantial number are - and there is a strong social taboo against articulating disputes in the language of value conflict. The socially preferred method of argument is to assert that "common values" support the result that one prefers.
