Using scope insensitivity and high-risk to justify action, outweigh low probabilities and disregard opposing evidence.

This is true, but I think the problem goes even further than this: many people are unwilling to make what Less Wrong readers would consider the "obvious" utilitarian choice, e.g. in a scenario like Torture vs. Dust Specks. Outsiders probably consider these unintuitive moral decisions weird at best and scary at worst.
