The difference between the pseudo-realism experienced by a child and the realism assumed by an adult is in the unequal distribution of facts possessed between them.
Intuitively experienced pseudo-realism proceeds from a necessarily smaller collection of objective facts, and an inability to reliably distinguish those facts from the sets of subjective facts and emotive states. We may never actually grow out of this as the context of our experience of moral propositions. The position states that it may ultimately be a property of moral propositions, and that even if we understand why they fail to meet the criteria of realism, it’s useful or justifiable to approach them as such. In pursuit of some Noble Goal™, for example.
