Can someone tell me what does this even mean?

Literally it seems to reduce to a tautological 'true'. One conceivable purpose of the question could be to establish whether the subject's abstract nodes for communicating about normative ideals are closely linked to slightly more direct normative judgments. It could filter out certain kinds of confusion.
