No, b doesn't. There's no point in correcting you anywhere else, a correction here suffices, agreed? B simply accepts that such constructs exist - it does not state that they are innate or opine upon the virtue of such constructs in and of themselves.
I do have to ask, though, what makes this "the liberal view"? It's the sociological view, the psychological view, it's an ethicists view........what makes it "the liberal view"?
