Patrick,

It looks doubtful that different moral attractors would look equally right. You don't just dive into an attractor, ending up in whatever one you happened to come across, walking it all the way. The decision to advance from right to right1 and not right2 is invalid if it is not right, and will be corrected as possible. Premeditation should minimize such errors.
