How would this be different than inserting epicycles to express geocentrism as heliocentrism? From consequentialist and deontological perspectives, I don't think this is an insight that dissolves the question.
The difference is that this is an 'ought' problem rather than an 'is' problem and we have no reason to believe our values should be simple.
