It didn’t seem directly relevant to TimS’s comment. That said, it would be a remarkable coincidence if a framework reliably motivated right action without corresponding to reality.
Agreed that if the only metric for right action is whether the action is motivated by my framework, then it’s not a coincidence at all that my framework motivates right action. It’s also true that if I know of no metric at all for right action, then I can’t know whether a framework reliably motivates it.
That in a marriage, the natural and desirable order of things is that man shall be the absolute ruler and woman the slave, and that any other arrangement is a futile struggle against our fundamental biological nature that if pursued will bring only doom and destruction?
Whatever happened to the corresponding-to-reality aspect?

Depends, how are you judging which action is “right”, do you have any way to judge independent of the framework?
A lot of religions motivate a lot of right actions. They motivate even more if you let a religion judge the rightness of the action it motivates.
