You're asking too much of people, even on LessWrong. You're demanding purely consequentialist utilitarian judgment be made in the face of MULTIPLE ingrained cognitive biases, plus MULTIPLE levels of cultural conditioning.

You're not going to win this one.

You really think people's objections to Chris's post are due to the objectors being insufficiently consequentialist?

Please, do explain.
