Statistical norm: there are effects that happen everywhere.

Implies an opinion on a fact, or an evaluation of a fact. Weber wanted criticism the separation of identical statements and practical evaluations is difficult. He also admitted that the choice of the theme of a study implies a value judgement value relatedness.

Statements which dictate reason vs. non-reason are also related to value judgements.
