is the sneer caused by the culture-war loaded use of the word values? e.g. "values voters" etc. or are you dipping a toe into some post-nihilism here?
OK… there are some usages in which “virtues” cover much wider ground than just ethics, covering e.g. aesthetics and epistemology. But as long as one is clear about how the word is used, it doesn’t matter so much which word one picks!

Let's see if we can agree: 1/ some people use values to mean what you are calling virtues or methods 2/ in this usage, the invocation of values is not a fake-out or retrospective trick 3/ the idea of acknowledging/respecting another's values/virtues/methods may be important

Yes, I agree with all those!
