(3) Just as simple subjectivism is an implausible theory of what 'right' means, so Eliezer's meta-semantic subjectivism is an implausible theory of why 'right' means promoting external goods X, Y, Z. An adequately objective metaethics shouldn't even give preferences a reference-fixing role.

This seems to me like begging the question. Can you expand on this?
