You can take a set of object-level answers and construct a variety of ethical systems that produce those answers, but it still matters which ethical system you use because your justification for those answers would be different, and because while the systems may agree on those answers, they may diverge on answers outside the initial set.

If indeed the frameworks are isomorphic, then actually this is just another case humans allowing their judgment to be affected by an issue's framing. Which demonstrates only that there is a bug in human brains.
