I read the Moral Landscape a while back so i could be forgetting some things, but I think it's pretty disingenuous to say Harris' position is "simply use science" to answer moral questions, as if it's a panacea that will reveal moral truths. It's more that the wall between objective facts and moral values is not some impenetrable magic barrier and that the two are not a pair of non-overlapping magisteria (to steal a phrase from Gould).
