I reject your labeling attempt. My point is a fundamental disagreement with an important claim you are making and in no way sarcastic. Your comments here are attempting to redirect emphasis away from the point by re framing my disagreement negatively while completely ignoring my engagement with and acceptance of your point.
I also do not understand the “Let’s keep it simple” rhetoric. My misuse of the ‘FAI’ algorithm was oversimplifying for the purposes of brevity and I was willing to accept your more rigorous usage even though it requires more complexity.
Okay, misunderstanding on both sides. From what I understood, there is no point in working on reaching agreement on this particular point of meta and rhetoric. (More substantial reply to the point we argue and attempt to reframe it for clarity are in the other two comments, which I assume you didn’t notice at the time of writing this reply.)
I have previously discussed the benefits of the ‘kill test’ in considering moral choices when things really matter.
Could you restate that (together with what you see as the disagreement, and the way “kill test” applies to this argument)? From what I remember, it’s a reference to intuitive conclusion: you resolve the moral disagreement on the side of what you actually believe to be right. It’s not a universally valid path to figuring out what’s actually right, intuitions are sometimes wrong (although it might be the only thing to go on when you need to actually make that decision, but it’s still decision-making under uncertainty, a process generally unrelated to truth-seeking).

Ok. And yes, I hadn’t seen the other comments (either not yet written or hidden among the other subjects in my inbox).
