Someone believes that the Singularity is a sack of absurdities and is sad about the fact that we're all deluded into believing it. To help pry us loose from our little cult, they post an argument that's really persuasive on a gut level: A photoshopped picture of me killing Meredith Kercher. (Shortly after, I am arrested by the Italian police.)
Is there a moral difference between that and what you're proposing besides, "Oh, but they're wrong and we're right?" If so, what do you think it is?
They have vastly different consequences. Why should a consequentialist seriously consider the possibility that there is no moral difference?
