In this vein, my usual answer to trolley questions and the like starts with “It depends: are you asking me what I think I would actually do in that setting? Or are you asking me what I think is the right thing to do in that setting? Because they’re different.”
A non-answer is still safer. That parry, in and of itself, could be twisted into an admission that you routinely and knowingly violate your own moral code.
Not even twisted, really; it is such an admission. But entirely agreed that a non-answer is safer than such an admission. (I suppose “In this vein” is a mis-statement, then.)
