True but irrelevant. I was illustrating the hidden human-centric assumptions matt1 was making about morality. If you go back and read the post I responded to it's quite clear that he thinks "morally wrong to terminate human, morally neutral to terminate program" says something about a quality humans have (as if morality was woven into the physical universe), where really it says something about a quality morality has (that it is produced by humans). By making obvious python-centric assumptions, the hidden assumptions matt1 is making ought to become clearer to him.
