Not so! Rather, "X is the right thing for TheAncientGeek to do given TheAncientGeek's values" is an objectively true (or false) statement. But "X is the right thing for TheAncientGeek to do" tout court is not; it depends on a specific value system being implicitly understood.
Same mistake, Only actions that affect others are morally relevant, from which it follows that rightness cannot be evaluated from one person's values alone.
Maximizing ones values solipsitically is hedonism, not morality.
Notice I didn't use the term "morality" in the grandparent. Cf. my other comment.
But the umpteenth grandparent was explicitly about morality.
