Right, you have to define what it means for morality/actions to be objectively correct. If you just allude to some hypothetical system without saying what it’s even supposed to achieve, then you’re not specifying anything.
Every system is the best at achieving what that system achieves. You need a meta-system before you can grade the systems, and that either needs agreeing or declaring. The first doesn’t happen, which is the whole problem; and the second would be pointless.
What do we achieve by saying, "I’m right and they are wrong"? If we expect them to actually change their ways, we need to provide our reasoning, otherwise we're just massaging our egos.
