"I cannot argue with or against this because no moral law has been stated or developed."

ehhh? I offered the mountain law. >>>

It is arguable and is often used to test presumptions of morality. For example:

A fella proclaims his charitable gift to help a large number of needy people in his community. On further investigation we find he intends to exploit his influence over these people as a cover to operate his human trafficking enterprise. The claim of charity (moral good) fails the test. His interests and conduct do not connote moral goodness, inspite of surface appearances. Similar tests can be applied to any claim of morality given enough exposure to relevant details.

"It is very hard for me to assess the truth or truthfulness of something that is appreciably vague. "

Nope it is clear enough and easy to assess.

"The scientist/engineer in me is repelled."

Needlessly.
