But unlike grammar, people don't always agree on right and wrong : if Alfred unintentionally Barry, Barry is more likely to think that what Alfred did was morally wrong, even if both started off with similar moral intuitions.

Er...is that supposed to be a joke?

More likely, a typo.

Probably. But it certainly was a well-timed typo given the content of the paragraph.

Nope, a typo - yes, yes, I know, I should reread what I write. The problem is that the result of rereading is frequently "hmm I could improve this sentence by deleting this and replacing it by that", and in this case there was a casualty.
