Any profession wide oath is going to involve moral relativism. Doctors quarrel about what 'do no harm' means all the time. That's a feature not a bug - the point is to get people to acknowledge that their work should not be a separate realm from their own understanding of morality, rather than impose any specific morality on anyone.
