Frequency conflates descriptive popularity with normative validity. A moral principle needn't be widespread to be foundational—its systematicity and internal consistency matter more.

Conflate(the criticism being made in the statement): To mistakenly treat two different things as if they were the same thing.
Foundational(as the opposite of what cross-individual coordination is claimed to be): Serving as a basic starting point or fundamental building block from which other things are derived or built upon.
Internal consistency(The second criterion Alston requires for judging whether a belief practice is valid): When different beliefs or claims don't contradict each other; they all fit together logically without conflicting.
Systematicity(Judgment aggregation theory; a strengthening of independence requiring that the same aggregation rule apply uniformly to all propositions in the agenda): A condition on an aggregation function F such that for any two profiles of individual judgment sets and any two propositions p and q in the agenda, if every individual's acceptance of p in the first profile matches their acceptance of q in the second profile, then the collective judgment on p in the first profile matches the collective judgment on q in the second profile. That is, the collective outcome for a proposition depends only on the pattern of individual votes on that proposition, uniformly across all propositions.
