I still strongly hold to being unable to derive an 'ought' from an 'is'. You can say one viewpoint is more pragmatically viable, but that doesn't really prescribe a moral weight, at least not in a transcendental way. I think we stand on opposite sides of humes guillotine.

Sure things may "work better" but that not does say I 'ought' to care unless optimal efficiency is some cosmic requirement.
