You are talking about different things Dolores is talking about "why should I cooperate instead of cheating" kind of morality. You on the other hand are talking about meta-ethics, that is what is the meaning of right and wrong, what is value etc.

Indeed. Terminal values are also... pretty personal, in my book. Very similar across the whole of neurologically intact humanity, maybe, but if someone's are different from yours, good bloody luck talking them out of them.
