For the record, I agree. This statement is true by definition, and therefore, at least in my understanding, axiomatic. Mathematical expressions are also true by definition. Jumping from these types of axioms to other ideas such as immorality is a huge leap, I think, but I wanted to be sure you knew where I stood on these more fundamental points.
