As I understand the theory correctly, it's says no. In the moment our decision is deemed rational. The tools we used to evaluate the information and our wants define the value we assign to that good or service. With all things being equal, if in the future our eveluation methods change then the value we assign to a good may also change.

I think I understand your line of questioning. You are exploring the idea that there is an underlying truth to the absolute value of a good and our tools/information are somehow imperfect to find that.

Yes, you understand my approach. Although "absolute" could imply that a good has the same value always and forever and in every place and circumstance, which I do not believe.

I think everything that could be valued has an absolute value, given the circumstances or context in which it's being evaluated. This is not the same thing as subjectivity in my view.

The theory is interesting, but from what I've heard so far I have to disagree. Still going to read more into it though.
