Curtis and Vehmas apply the form of Moore's 'Proof of an External World' to justify continuing to believe that all and only humans have full moral status in the absence of a plausible account of why. I note that the strategy is better suited for the sceptical problems Moore applies it to and suggest that resorting to it reflects too great a pessimism about the accounts available.
柯蒂斯和韦马斯运用摩尔《外部世界的证明》的形式，在缺乏合理理由解释为何只有人类拥有完整道德地位的情况下，为继续坚持这一信念进行辩护。我指出，该策略更适用于摩尔所应用的怀疑论问题，并认为诉诸此策略反映出对现有解释过于悲观。
