That is the hypothetical. a) Being moral involves believing that we are good rather than being good; b) our standard for when we believe we are being good is internal; c) that standard is loose enough that we can in practice adjust the standard rather than adjusting our behavior. If that all is true, is that not a problem for practical morality?
