Huh? John there no clearer evidence of your ontic reading of the ontological 
than this. To say that being-in-the-world encompasses any and every "side" 
does not mean that both sides are true, because being-false is also a way of 
being-in-the-world! The truth of a "side" is ONTIC truth, not ontological 
truth. So you are (yet again) interpreting ontological truth as ONTIC truth, 
because you think that if fundamental ontology does not exclude either side, 
then there can be no axiological truths or moral truths because all sides 
are true! That is a blatant conflation of ontic truth with ontological 
truth.
