There definitely are some intuitions that are wrong on reflection, like scope insensitivity.
I'm not so sure about that. See Shut Up and Divide?
You still agree that is it wrong for morals not to depend on numbers of people, you just propose a different alternate decision system. Eliezer's example of willingness to donate to sick children in Israel could be included in some extremely convoluted but consistent decision process but, upon reflection, we find that this is not what we think is right.
