Good analysis. But I think someone's dislike for a thing doesn't necessarily stem from some easily verbalizable "actual problem" they have with the thing. Deontological rules sound to me like something people just make up. Individual datapoints of moral intuition are higher up in the causal chain than the nice-looking curves we fit to these points.
