I think psy-kosh's "karma" idea is worth considering, but your rhetoric is much better here than the previous two attempts, as far as I'm concerned. It's important -- especially for a lay audience like me that doesn't already know what kind of argument you're trying to make -- to distinguish between *contingent* advice and *absolute* imperatives. (It may be that the second category can properly never be demonstrated, but a lot of people make those kinds of claims anyway, so it's a poor interpretive strategy to assume that that's not what people are saying.)
