So, I guess the point of EY's metaethics can be summarized as ‘by “morality” I mean the token, not the type’.
(Which is not a problem IMO, as there are unambiguous words for the type, e.g. “values” -- except insofar as people are likely to misunderstand him.)
Especially because the whole point is to optimize for something. You can't optimize for a type that could have any value.
