That seems overly complicated when you could just say that you disagree.
So clearly the definition of morality they use is not connected to shouldness? I guess that's their prerogative to define morality that way. But they ALSO have different views on shouldness than us, otherwise they would act in the same manner.
Are you disagreeing that Clippy and Snippy are dangerous? If not, accepting this statement adds no complexity to my view as compared to yours.
As for shouldness, many people don't make a distinction between "rationally should" and "morally should". And why should they; after all, for most there may be little divergence between the two. But the distinction is viable, in principle. And psychopaths, and those who have to deal with them, are usually well aware of it.
I'm not sure what I mean by complicated.
Exactly, I'm talking about the concept "should', not the word.
