Oh, by the way, I initially said that I think that ethical nihilism is incoherent but that was back when I was saying that I think all forms of ethical nihilism are noncognitivst. Now that I've modified my position so that error theory is still ethical nihilism, it's just weak ethical nihilism, I actually think that error theory isn't incoherent ... it's just wrong. There's nothing incoherent about saying that all normative statements are false. There *is* something incoherent about saying that all normative statements are neither true nor false.
Error Theory fails because it says that all moral statements are false but some moral statements are actually in fact true. Basically, error theory fails because error theory is itself in error.
Noncognitivism fails because it's incoherent.
