If you're asking why I pointed out how pleasure and pain were mind independent in the relevant and less trivial sense, it's due to the fact that the strength of your argument would rely on that premise being true in that same relevant and less trivial sense.
Otherwise, you're not actually arguing anything contrary to what realism dictates. You don't seem to be. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your beef is more against the standard and (otherwise) understood use of that same term in ethical theory. You think it generates confusion. Maybe it does, but in whom?
