I don't claim that morality has any ontological existence, but then neither
does math or subjective experience. Lack of ontological existence isn't
enough of a reason to question the relevance of subjective experience,
math or morality.
No one claims to ask the trivial arrow related questions; "who shot that
poisoned arrow?", "why?" or "from where?". Instead, one claims to ask the
non-trivial questions: "did the arrow hit me?", "might it have been
poisoned?" and "will pulling it out do more damage than the poison
might?".
In broader cases that you might chose to make the Arrow story appear
analogous to, the non-trivial questions are rarely so simple to answer as
"did the arrow hit me?", "might it have been poisoned?" and "will pulling it
out do more damage than the poison might?". No wider argument
can be deconstructed to a state where it becomes directly analogous to
the poisoned arrow.
