I don't think it's an act at all. I think it's sunk cost playing out. This isn't a new experience for me. I've had this exact conversation many times. It doesn't matter that you can show how moral realism is rational even if it's not true - people who come in claiming it's nonsense, as opposed to just wrong, tend to go out claiming the same.
I did it too, even as it was was eating at me. The only solution, imo, is to stick with it until we're (at least) disagreeing on equivalent terms. I strongly suspect that I would also call what you insist must be the criteria for moral realism to be nonsense, fwiw.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
