If I grant 1, I currently can't think of any objections to 2 and 3 (which doesn't mean that I won't if I took 1 more seriously and therefore had more incentive to look for such objections).
I think at a minimum, it's unusually difficult to do 1-style regimentation for morality (and Eliezer himself explained why in Unnatural Categories). I guess one point I'm trying to make is that whatever kind of reasoning we're using to attempt this kind of regimentation is not the same kind of reasoning that we use to think about some logical object after we have regimented it. Does that make sense?
