I mostly agree, but the argument still works if you throw out 5 altogether.

5 is the only is-ought link in the chain. Seems pretty integral to me.

I thought 4 and 5 were parallel, with 4 a bit stronger than 5.

But that's only an "is" statement. To think "and that's guaranteed to be bad" at the end of 4 is to assume 5.
