Oh, well, that makes some sense, actually. Since everybody knows that “cognitivism” means that moral statements have truth-values, whereas “realism” seems to be a confused notion—I actually interpreted it to mean the same thing as cognitivism because otherwise I don’t know what on earth realism should even be.
