Reply to comment by iiioiia in Why You Should Be Moral (answering Prichard's dilemma) by contractualist
Whether or not a piece of what looks like garbage abandoned on the street, might have some value, sentimental or other, is not a good reason to claim that this particular “X according to reason is valuable among (sic) others”, regardless of the value it might or might not have for me. I am disagreeing with the OP’s general assertion of value.

Perhaps, but this is other than the current scenario, which is where you have asserted: "it is not “valuable among others”."
Have you substantial evidence to support this assertion as being substantially more than merely a personal opinion?

And due to the manner in which you have done it, you have acquired a burden of proof.
