The thesis says:
The "in principle" still allows for the possibility of a naturalistic view of morality grounding moral truths. For example, we could have the concept of: the morality that advanced evolutionary systems tend to converge on - despite the orthogonality thesis.
It doesn't say what is likely to happen. It says what might happen in principle. It's a big difference.
Note that on Eliezer's view, nothing like "the morality that advanced evolutionary systems tend to converge on" is required for moral realism. Do you think it's required?
I usually try to avoid the term "moral realism" - due to associated ambiguities - and abuse of the term "realism".
