I agree, the suggested test for determining if something is absolutely moral would lead to that kind of off result.
Let me ask you this: we can test theories about how light works by making predictions about how light will behave in some circumstance and then by running an experiment and checking if the prediction was correct.
If instead I have a moral theory which suggests something is absolutely moral, what prediction can I make based on that theory?
