To clarify, “rule” as used in the grandparent and “rule” as used in the OP are different concepts. (Namely, in the grandparent I was referring—following what I took to be Wei Day’s usage—to rule consequentialism.)
Can you delineate a bit of the difference between these uses of “rule”, and how rule consequentialism avoids any of the problems that the post (and comments/objections to it) talks about?

It… doesn’t? Who said that it does? I’m not even sure what that would mean; it seems like an almost entirely orthogonal issue…
(As for the uses of “rule”, that’s a fine question but I hesitate to write any lengthy commentary on it, because it seems like we have some sort of weird misunderstanding, and it may not even be relevant…)
