I f everyone agreed to EY's usage, disucssing alien morality would be more difficult.
How so? You can just say “alien values”.
Not all values are moral.
It's often difficult to figure out which human preferences are moral v. amoral. That would be a vastly more challenging task for an alien species, such that we'd probably be better off in most cases by prohibiting ourselves from sorting alien values in that way.
That isn't a good reason to subsume moral values under values in the human case.

If everyone agreed on any one usage, that would be far better than everyone disagreeing.
True enough. But I think for the members of LW to adopt EY's usage would move us further away from that point, not closer.
