The literal way to understand that statement doesn't imply a value judgment. Specifically, saying that you have a certain amount of points doesn't imply that it's good or amazing to have that amount of points. The implication that the amount of points is good or amazing can be the intention of the teller or imbedded in the tone of how the teller says it. However, the sentence itself "I have 23,600 points" includes neither of those elements. The statement is merely a claim on a fact about the world. Side: Nah
