Criticisms of Ethical Non-naturalism

What is Moore claiming to know by intuition? If goodness is undetectable then how can Moore assert that there are some things which we intuitively know are intrinsic goods and some things which we know are intrinsic evil. Surely some factual information is required? One simply know that it is good to help old ladies cross the road but what if the old lady is really a terrorist?
Like ethical naturalism, Moore's theory rules out moral disagreement. If I intuit that 'the sun will shine tomorrow' and you intuit that it will not we can check who is right through sense-experience. However we cannot rely on observations and therefore we are forever prevented from knowing which intuition is true since the only method of verification to intuitionism is intuition itself.
