As I said originally, both of those "X versus Y" and many others are just confusing and mysterious-sounding to me.

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".

Oh. Well, yeah, it does sound kind-of solved.

The alleged solution seems as elusive as the Snark to me.
