How is trying to distinguish morals from values not philosophical nit-picking?

EDIT: The above question is dumb, because somehow my brain inserted something like “Getting beyond the …” to the beginning of the parent, which…yeah.

If I may be so naive, what's supposed to be the difference? Is it just that morality has the connotation of an objective, or at least agent-invariant system, whereas values are implied to be explicitly chosen?
