Again, This just saved me. Some of us are not abstract learners, we need concrete visuals and this was brilliant. (Narration is perfect, too). Dedicated my whole weekend to trying to understand this.

I swear, I never thought about morality being separate - and therefore undefinable - from etiquette, law and religion... You really get me thinking, Doctor Vaughan.
