Hmmm. I'm not sure. It may depend on how our cognitive algorithms work, and I haven't decoded them yet. Do you have an intuition on the matter?

Do you expect they can ever be "decoded"? After all, we can only form high-level understanding of what's going on, while what's really going on includes all the unsummarizeable details that no human can comprehend. There are no simple laws underlying all of human moral cognition, the way it actually works.
