I interpreted "High-Plot/Low-Plot" as being similar to the difference between High Church (emphasis on liturgy, ceremony, structure) and Low Church (emphasis on participation, relationships, feelings)... I don't see that as a value judgement 
I'm not sure if that spectrum resonates for me all that well though... Most of my stories are what I think of as "slice of life," but a few of them are definitely more complex in scope (Sexy Women in your Galaxy, Dandelion Greene). And I can tell that they're a different kind of story when I'm thinking about them and writing them, but I'm not sure how I would label that difference?
