Why did you insert "decision"?
Why the assumption of comparison?
why are you confusing "makes sense" with "logical"?
why the insertion of the assumption of intentions?
Seems to me you have created quite the strawman...
pretty sure that I have not created quite the straw man. But let us investigate further.
Why did you insert "decision"?
If something is "better" because it "makes sense" vs "some guy claimed a goblin told him" i.e. based on superstition- then we are saying that one made a
decision based on what made sense vs. another who made a
decision based on what the goblin told them. Thus, I insert the word decision.
Why the assumption of comparison?
The assumption of comparison came from an earlier statement
The best morality is guided by reason and compassion rather than by arbitrary social norms and superstitions.
In order to have a
best morality there must be a comparison. Otherwise the term best becomes irrelevant. Moreover, when someone makes a this vs. that statement, then a comparison has been set. I am not really sure why you wouldn't assume comparison.
why are you confusing "makes sense" with "logical"?
Because that was the example given in order to depict the standards of applying cause and effect, evidence, and logic etc. If you can come up with a more precise phrasing go ahead and insert it into my reasoning as I am sure it will fit, since that is how I used the phrase "makes sense" within my address to you.
why the insertion of the assumption of intentions?
Well if we are determining whether a decision is made with consideration of cause and effect, evidence, and logic then we would have to take into considerations intentions. For instance, the value judgement placed on the moral reasoning:
In the context of the discussion there is an implication in the statement:
"For example, X is good/bad because
it makes sense vs. X is good/bad because some guy claimed a goblin told him."
We are saying that "X is good/bad because it makes sense" is better, even if "X is good/bad because some guy claimed a goblin told him" directs us to do the very same thing as the former. This places specific emphasis on the intention.
