Subjective versus objective value? It ain't the concept "value" that subsidizes(?) everyone's disagreement. It's concepts themselves. We use words, which are essentially symbols that represent concepts, too approximately, rather than precisely. I agree there's a lot of perceived disagreement that is more the consequence of miscommunication than actual differing views of the same phenomena, but the integration of language and concepts is just as important in your own mind as it is in whatever means of communication is being used to transmit them to other minds...
