Oh. Yep.
As I said originally, both of those "X versus Y" and many others are just confusing and mysterious-sounding to me.
They seem like the difference between Car.Accelerate() and AccelerateObject(Car) in programming. Different implementations, some slightly more efficient for some circumstances than others, and both executing the same effective algorithm - the car object goes faster.
Oh. Well, yeah, it does sound kind-of solved.
Judging by the wikipedia description of "meta-ethics" and the examples it gives, I find the meta-ethics sequence on LW gives me more than satisfactory answers to all of those questions.
You previously said something much more definite-sounding:
"I believe that there is an objective system of verifiable, moral facts which can be true or false"
..although it has turned out you meant something like "there are objective facts about de facto moral reasoning".
The alleged solution seems as elusive as the Snark to me.
