With jaundiced eye.

It's true that judgement has different meanings; I use the term to refer to a type of condemnation.

I use discernment to refer to evaluation, though evaluation is a great term as well.

I use "discernment" to refer to choices made when there is ambiguity involved (like when the channeller vomits a load of bullshit anticipatory "signposts" due to lack of actual experience). Evaluation is how things are determined, sort of like how unconscious questions are answered. Determining things involves an act of will (and judgement) - you are literally choosing, which is a process of creation. The creation is your "choice", your say in the matter, your focus of will - an expression of your individuality, and your rational world view. When Ra says "The function of intuition is to inform intelligence. In your illusion the unbridled predominance of intuition will tend to keep an entity from the greater polarizations due to the vagaries of intuitive perception. As you may see, these two types of brain structure need to be balanced in order that the net sum of experiential catalyst will be polarization and illumination, for without the acceptance by the rational mind of the worth of the intuitive faculty the creative aspects which aid in illumination will be stifled.", they are referring to the faculty of intuition in balance with the faculties of rational evaluation (thinking and/or feeling). With the latter being what actively transforms the passive perception into experience.

Back to judgement as condemnation: even if one condemns, I would suggest that it is only "unnecessary" to the extent that one is actually attached or identified with some idea that prompted the response. That is because any identification falls away with integration. Unless you want to say that any response is "unnecessary". Anything that is not true to oneself is "projection" and therefore "unnecessary" - even many people's ideas of "loving". "Thus the most fragile entity may be more balanced than one with extreme energy and activity in service to others due to the fastidiousness with which the will is focused upon the use of experience in knowing the self.
