Thanks. I’m thinking of doing a post on the discussion section where I can explain where my intuitions come from in more detail.
For your questions:
Yes.
Yes.
I don’t really know what the third question means. It seems like the primary use of “ought” and “should” is as part of an attempt to convince people to do what you say they should do. I would say that is the meaning being communicated. There are various ways this could be within the context of a community. Are you saying that you’re only trying to convince members of that community?

Note: I’m planning to come back to this discussion in a few days. Recently my time has been swamped running SI’s summer minicamp.
I may also write something which expresses my ideas in a new, more concise and clear form.
I think that would be the most efficient thing to do. For now, I’ll wait on that.
If you haven’t noticed, I just made that post.
Any response to this?
Excellent. I’m busy the next few days, but I’ll respond when I can, on that thread.
