I think that the flaw (at least as i see it) in NJ's argument is that moral relativists do not have their own personal moralities, that they are amoral.
This position is not only extremely rare; it is also an extremely difficult code to follow. Fact is, we are human, and with that comes a bit of emotional, cultural, and likely even evolutionary baggage. This has significant influence on the way we live our lives. We are not mindless and unfeeling.
I'm sure, however, that some are able to put aside their "humanity" and follow such a path, but not many.
ABE: i don't expect all scientists are moral relativists either.
