1 is wrong. Please try again.

Since an ought judgment is a universalizable prescription (and not a factual claim), "I ought to do A to X" logically commits us to the particular prescription "If the situation were reversed, let X do A to me." Thus violations of GR are violations of logical consistency. <=> prescriptivism justification
