Based on how I would answer the questions listed and that my views are similar to Eliezer's, I agree. The last question, as I understand it, is equivalent to "If you had a full description of all possible worlds, could you then say which choices are right in each world? Say "no" if you instead think that you would you have to additionally actually observe the real world to make moral choices." I might be misunderstanding something, since this seems like an obvious "yes", but I might be understanding 'too much', perhaps by conflating two things that some philosophers claim to be different due to their confusion.
