I can make the practical case: If "right" refers to nothing, and we design an FAI to do what is right, then it will do nothing. We want the FAI to do something instead of nothing, so "right" having a referent is important.
Or the philosophical case: If "right" refers to nothing, then "it's right for me to save that child" would be equivalent to the null sentence. From introspection I think I must mean something non-empty when I say something like that.
Do either of these answer your question?
Congratulations, you just solved the Fermi paradox.
