Agreed, but when IE is making decisions (using a process that is distinct from thinking about the decisions of FAIs and ideal selves), do the words "morality" or "should" ever enter into his mind and end up making a difference in his decisions? If so, what does he mean by them?

"Morality" describes (the result of) the process he uses. The thing as a whole is about morality, it is not an aspect in his decision process. Morality is the sum of the thousand shards of desire.
