The whole point of CEV, reflexive consistency and the meta-ethics sequence is that morality is based on our intuitions.
Yes, I personally think that's awful. LessWrong rightly tends to promote being sceptical of one's mere intuitions in most contexts, and I think the same approach should be taken with morality (basically, this post on steroids).
If this is to be useful, it would have to read "that our intuitions are based on morality".
