I've little experience with the differentiation that you are trying to show me, but what I've heard elsewhere and from you leads me to thing that this is a distinction without a difference for non-economists. You take the same tools and apply them with fundamentally different goals. My conclusion to date has been that this doesn't change the tools, although it certainly will affect the goals.

For example, if I'm a cultural anthropologist using the tools of economics, am I doing work that is neoclassical or ecological?

Is that a debate that is even relevant to me?
