This all sounds reasonable to me. Now what happens when you apply the same reasoning to Friendly AI?
Nothing particularly new or interesting, as far as I can tell. It tells us that defining a system of artificial ethics in terms of the object-level prescriptions of a natural ethic is unlikely to be productive; but we already knew that. It also tells us that aggregating people's values is a hard problem and that the best approaches to solving it probably consist of trying to satisfy underlying motivations rather than stated preferences; but we already knew that, too.
