Maybe I did get up on the wrong side of the bed. But I wonder how many
contributors here would agree that we can call the MOQ a "Science of 
Morals." If rationality is your criterion, then we can apply the term 
"science" to the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle and all that followed. 

I await the verdict of others.
