Yes. I agree

It still "matters" (to me, anyway) what is
"right" (although we could, have, and will have a discussion on exactly
what that word means).

That's what I was pointing out. What's right is what replicates more
effectively.

I know this sounds morally bankrupt, but it's an idea I'm floating
aroung for now-- to see where it goes.

Yes. We are all trying to convince each other that we are right.
