Well then, I don't understand why you would find statements like "There are no alien [human oughts]" and "They don't see [human morality] differently from us" bizarre-sounding.

Having established EY meant ought<human>, I was asking about ought<alien>.

Maybe you are right - and EY misinterpreted me - and genuinely thought I was asking about ought<human><alien>.

If so, that seems like a rather ridiculous question for me to be asking - and I'm surprised it made it through his sanity checker.
