The opinions are the expression of the objective truths, i.e. the moral facts-- for example that people absolutely hate having their offspring killed. If we didn't have the social instincts and mode of perception that we do, we wouldn't be able to form or act on those opinions.
So, I guess we've officially left the "moral fact as hypothetical best action" idea and we're onto social genetics as moral fact.
