He did have some good analogies about truth and how it may be vague or encompass a range of degrees. I found that analogy of the definition of 'health and wellness' to be quite helpful.
But he poorly applied most of his analogies, apples are oranges, style. Truth and morality are closely related and in many ways linked, but they are not the same.
Also, it appeared to me that most of his appeals for his thesis "science can do morality" were "everybody knows.' Such as "everybody knows woman wearing 'bag's is bad" Really, apparently not everyone does know that or agree with that. (Not even some of the women, either, given the account of the gentlemen at the end who spoke from personal experience with Muslims)
Or what about his argument that 'bad people' can't be trusted for any facts? As if Ted Bundy or the Taliban couldn't teach people 2+2=4.
Good points, mixed in with several logical fallacies and assumptions.
