The thought experiment is that if you took two simple cultures and transported them both to seperate places of everlasting plenty, where they both had perfect conditions for growth and prosperity, and then came back in one thousand years they would both have the same opinion on actions that were right and actions that were wrong (Fundamentally speaking, the values of life, freedom etc).
If they don't then any idea of objective Good and Evil (As either an abstract concept or an ascription) goes out the pan, and we have to, urgh, consider postmodern subjective/relativism.
