Might be mind projection on my part, true. However, it genuinely looks to me that many people do feel like this, for example, in the trolley problem: the math might say it's more "correct" to end up with +4 saved lives, yet it's still an "evil" act to them - they'd say that a solution can be the only technically correct one and still less moral than alternatives.
