More Tension in Subjectivist Economics

Here is a statement from a Powerpoint slide that accompanies The Economic Way of Thinking for instructors:

"People should consider the opportunity costs of their choices." (Emphasis mine.)

I think they should as well. But lecturing people about what they ought to value is not really compatible with methodological subjectivism, is it?
