To be fully accountable, sure. Moral desert. In the same way that a person actually does have to have taste buds and an idea of what is or isn;t tasty in order to be fully accountable for their restaurant reviews.
We know what the words bitter and sweet and hot and sour and salty mean, and we possess the apparatus to determine whether or not any given food item corresponds to those categories..and this is the basis of objective goodness..not just in taste, but also in morality. Makes this thread a goldmine for off kilter responses.
