Society will never find out, so they will have no opportunity to answer the question. Are you saying that what matters is not actual disapproval, but hypothetical disapproval?

Anyway, like I said, there are multiple ways of attacking the argument. Accepting the unpalatable logical conclusion of total relativism is one of them.

    Uh, yeah, that's how rules work. If you do something that's against the rules, you've broken the rules, regardless of whether anyone ever finds out about it. Morality isn't a concrete thing that exists. It's an abstract set of rules which are a creation of human society.
