Ah, I see.
Sorry, I was understanding "firm understanding of morality" in a more from-the-ground-up, nonhuman sense than I think you meant it... I think I've been overtrained on FAI conversations.
Sure, an understanding of morality in a normal, real-world sense doesn't preclude -- nor even noticeably inhibit -- moral aversions at the level of "don't rape and kill my family"; absolutely agreed.
