Objectivity -fosters- dispute. Two people just bullshitting each other are not having a dispute, they're just bullshitting each other. It take facts to really fucking get into a good dispute with someone. The way you came to understand what an objective morality is was tainted, and you know who I blame for that one, lol.
But you sure seem willing to give them a good pat on the back for some insane unfathomable reason.
Well, sure, they're trying to figure out whether or not we can provide a compelling explanation of an objective morality, and they're serious enough about it to make sure that even the word objective doesn't get a free pass. Just how is it objective, in what ways, what limits to objectivity are there, how accessible is this objectivity to us, as subjective agents, for example.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
