I’ve just now given you an example where someone can be an absolutist on which criteria are to be used, but a relativist on the weight assigned to those criteria.
Dividing the world to pure absolutists (who can order each morality on a single axis) and pure relativists (who don’t order any moralities) is a very incomplete model.
The problem of comparing things on the different axes—“solved” by converting to units of utility—is the same for absolutists and relativists.
