ir wouldn’t really matter if it was simply on account of an inner voice that something -is wrong-. You’d still need to add at least one evaluative premise to get -ought not- steal from that inner voice.
It’s a feature of all moral systems, explicit or silent.
Ought not do wrong and stealing is wrong are not identical statements. There’s your evaluative premise. You -do- need to add that if you’re offering a full rational variant of the deontological product.
