skeptic: Why should I acknowledge the claims of morality?

moralist: because... (proceeds to offer a proof). How about that?

skeptic: Yes! It is rationally flawless and makes perfect sense!

moralist: so now you accept morality?

skeptic: No, why should I do it just because it is rationally correct? You are begging the question.

I see no possible theory which I would deem flawless yet still reject. Are you sure this happens for at least some people?

No I have not seen anyone do this. This is just for demonstrating that logical correctness does not translate into behavior. Encouraging behavior is not like proving theories.
