Moral code? Heuristics. Scientific method? Heuristics. Use of
   mathematics within the sciences? Heuristics.
   If it works, that's what we use. I'm biased because I'm an
   American and in America, Pragmatics is somewhat embedded in our
   culture as a "good thing". Pragmatic = an American moral good,
   generally speaking. I don't know if that is a valid question. I
   don't think a thing "is moral" or "is immoral" without a
   context. Perhaps it is, but I've found very few laws that are
   ultimately Universal. I'm working on one now that might be but I
   have work to do on it. [my computer is chugging away on
   something regarding metaphors and language in a CMD window...
   hopeful something 'morally good' comes of it tongue emoticon
