That sounds strange to me, can you expand on that?

You're objections amount the the claim that "being able to be evaluated by outside observers" should be a property of morality. This is a necessary property of theory of what society should condemn, it is less clear why it's a necessary property of morality.

So then he disagrees with W.J.Clifford, doesn't he? The Clifford quote is all about subjective.

And the reason the owner's mental process is immoral is because it leads the owner to evaluate the evidence incorrectly.

Um, no, I don't think so. I don't think I'm making any claims about properties of morality. Mostly, I'm just poking KPier's/Clifford's position to check for coherence.

because it leads the owner to evaluate the evidence incorrectly.
