I’d agree the first three remarks are on the strong side of reasonable, but the last two seem epistemically unhygienic. I am extremely confident eg that global total scalar valence utilitarianism is a better answer to the questions moral philosophy seeks to answer than any alternative that’s been proposed, but I would never use a phrase like ‘not up for debate’, which sounds childish to me.
