Comment on What is Metaethics?

I can see how an error theorist would agree with "Murder is not wrong" in the same sense in which I'd agree with "Murder is not purple", but it's a strange and not very useful sense. My impression had been that error theorists claim that there are no "right" or "wrong" buckets to sort things into in the first place, rather than proposing that both buckets are there but empty — more like ignosticism than atheism. Am I mistaken about that?
