Actually you deontology says you should NOT push the fat man . Consequentialism says you should.

I'm quite aware of that.

it is hard to make sense of that. If a theory is correct, then what it states is correct. D and U make opposite recommendations about the fat man, so you cannot say that they are both indiffernt with regard to your rather firm intuition about this case.

At this point, I simply must tap out. I'm at a loss at how else to explain what you seem to be consistently missing in my questions, but DaFranker is doing a very good job of it, so I'll just stop trying.

moral theories are tested by their ability to match moral intuition,

Really? This is news to me. I guess Moore was right all along...
