Sure. The specific thing you say is that the outcome is "good", but what that means exactly is very hard to decipher, and in particular hard or impossible to decipher in a form of a story, with people, their experiences and social constructions. It is the story that can't be specific.
[ETA: I wrote the following when your comment read simply "Sure, why?". I can see the plausibility of your claim that narrative moral imaginings can contribute nothing to the development of FAI, though it's not self-evidently obvious to me. ]
Perhaps I missed the point of your previous comment.
I presumed that you thought that I was being too specific. I read you as expressing this thought by saying that one should not think specifically, "period". I was pointing out the impossibility or meaninglessness of that injunction, at least in its extreme form. I was implicitly encouraging you to indicate the non-extreme meaning that you had intended.
