Not so. They can also be related to feelings -- i.e., subjectivity. "That's just wrong".

You aren't able to get around the fact that different people see different events in different ways.

Is killing always wrong, no matter the context? What say you?
Bottom line: even if you shop your morality out to another agency, you're still practicing moral subjectivity. You just don't have the stones to admit the decision.
