True, but that may not be as telling an objection as you seem to think. For example, if you run into someone (not me!) who claims that the entire moral code is based on the 'Golden Rule' of "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." Tell that guy that moral behavior changes if preferences change. He will respond "Well, duh! What is your point?".
There are people who do not recognize this. It was, in fact, my point.
Edit: Hmm, did I say something rude Perplexed?
Not to me. I didn't downvote, and in any case I was the first to use the rude "duh!", so if you were rude back I probably deserved it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I still don't understand your point.
Perhaps you were rude to those unnamed people who you suggest "do not recognize this".
I think we may have reached the somewhat common on LW point where we're arguing even though we have no disagreement.
It's easy to bristle when someone in response to you points out something you thought it was obvious that you knew. This happens all the time when people think they're smart :)
