It's not about the method of discovery but truth-making features. You could look at the mind of a good physicist to determine whether electrons repel each other but that's not what makes "electrons repel each others" true. In contrast, what makes a moral judgment true according to subjectivism is the attitudes of the person who makes the moral judgment.
