You mean that evolved morality shit? Good to know you're not a moral realist arguing that morals are an innate property of reality. </sarcasm>
lol.
No, the recognition is of something external to them, not a recognition of their biological sensations and feelings. It's not a recognition of an internal discomfort, like a stomach ache, or the prick of a needle, but about something out there, not in here.
The perception that there's something wrong about that behavior, isn't reducible to some discomforting biological sensation that's a product of our biological evolution. Or in other words i'm not saying something about my biology, when recognizing the wrongness here.
