And one can still disregard a command, even if one is punished for doing so. For example: people who disregard an authoritarians command to torture innocent people.
Not really. Wes Morriston understands divine command theory quite well. Hence him being one of the leading contemporary Christian critics of it. And one doesn't need to accept all the assumptions of a position in order to critique and understand a position.
For example: I don't have to assume that every aspect of Young Earth creationism is true, in order to critique or understand Young Earth creationism.
