I think so, sure. It would be a little bit odd if it didn't..requiring a more elaborate explanation for it's absence than it's presence. In the same vein, if it simply didn't or..even stronger, couldn't...whatever argument to that effect would take down a huge amount of other things we establish in the same way, by the same means, with the same assumptions, under the same axioms, with identical semantics. It's unclear how moral facts are different from bird facts. It's unclear how moral realism is different from realism in general. Ultimately, we'd only be negotiating over how much else we're willing to burn down that we take for granted as uncontroversial.
Need more explanation. Moral facts would exist in the mind of a bird whose judgement decisions are more or less limited to survival/reaction?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
