That is probably true, but in my experience this is not what everyone else calls "moral progress". Usually people use "moral progress" to mean "a changing of morals to be closer to my current morals".
That's what I was arguing against, that the appearance of moral progress (as I defined it) is merely an illusion caused by the CEV of our civilization changing over time.
Note: I responded to my best guess as to your meaning, but could you taboo "morals" for me to be on the safe side?
