Is there any error?


To draw a sound judgment, one should distinguish between sentences and propositions, most especially if, oriented toward a meta-ethical question or more, such judgment are intended to be made as moral sentences are not propositions, that is, the quality of being true or false is irrelevant to such sentences being unable to be distinguished thereby. However able these sentences are to be subject of a consensus, they are not so on the basis of being true or wrong, but on the basis of its capacity of evoking an affect or more, without any of which even biases would be rendered impossible. This is why, given a convergent inclination toward a certain attitude on a moral question, two individuals can in such moral question come to an agreement.
