You do know what 'applicable' means, right? What something is created by and what it is applicable to are two different things. And being external to the person does not affect the applicability.

Don't make me keep repeating the same refutation. That person is there to judge. His behavior matters to him. His behavior has a significant and observable effect on himself. Which is why it can be judged as moral or immoral.
