Hmm interesting. I'm tempted to say no moral claims can be true or false. Rather they are either good or bad at guiding behavior towards a desired outcome.

(Maybe there's a philosophical distinction I'm not aware of between something being wrong and being false: A clock that is built wrong is a bad clock, but it doesn't make sense to call it a false clock.)
