Pond scum morality & dolphin morality look a lot different than human morality, I suspect.

Well, then it appears you agree with me that your statement concerning all morality was wrong. Further, if there is a morality involving pond scum and dolphins, it surely establishes that morality is based on a "point of view", and thus the bug-a-boo of the lack of an objective basis for morality stares the Objectivist in the face.

Ahem, aside from the fact that pond scum & (most likely) dolphins haven't the brainpower to conceive of principles of behavior in the first place, Objectivism has always purported to be a philosophy for humans.

You're defending the God of the Nits again.
