Similarly, there is disagreement today about moral theory, and many moral theories are deeply confused, and the notion of evidence for a moral theory is not well-formalized, but if you ask a hundred people questions like "is killing an innocent person right or wrong?" you'll get the same answer from all of them (barring weirdness)

I think there may be enough "weirdness" in response to moral questions that it would be irresponsible to treat it as dismissible.
