Fair point - I should have phrased that differently. I think I intended that both in the weak sense "Our prior on moral statements should never be 0 or 1" and also in the slightly stronger sense "Ethics is difficult, so our priors should have high variance"
The problem isn't so much with priors, the problem is what are you willing to accept as evidence to be used for updating your beliefs.
