Words are just words. If you find murder reprehensible, and I kill someone but call it "molamolamola", does it make it less ofensive to you? What we call gravity has no bearing on what it provides. What we call murder changes nothing about what is involved. I still find your argument moot... or I just don't understand your point. Assume no enumeration, no value, no language, no formulas. There is something that keeps our feet planted on the ground. Done deal. Everyone experiences. I've not ever heard of a human being that just floats off into space. Maybe it's happened, but the likelihood is relatively low. People are killed by other people in a variety of ways. Remember no language... do not distinguish between war, suicide, murder, abortion, genocide, lethal injection. When a person is killed by a person (possibly including ones own self) is that ALWAYS reprehensible? Is there never a reason for death caused upon one human being by another where you are not offended? Even if the answer for you is "no... it's morally wrong and always offensive" there is someone who will surely say "yes, there are exceptions". Both could be telling the truth. If someone tells you they once floated to the moon without the aid of rockets, machinery or other manmade devices, I'd have to say they are lying. Gravity then, as we perceive it, is black and white. Morality is grey upon grey.
