Ought != unverifiable. That's the point. Go read the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem


Thank you for the wiki link. But I didn't say that "ought statements" are unverifiable.


You were saying that unverifiable statements were ought statements, by arguing that because you couldn't figure out how to defend a statement, it had to be an ought statement. The truth or verifiability of a statement has nothing to do with whether or not it's an is or an ought statement.
