Are you willing to accept an ostensive and potentially erroneous definition of morality that may very well be subject to revision as knowledge improves?

That's how knowledge works, Constant. Everything we think we know may turn out to be wrong, and any conclusions will probably end up being revised later.

Are you willing to have a neverending discussion, with everyone talking past each other, and no working definition for the central concept we're supposed to be examining?
