I concur. Well said. I'm going to steal this concept: purely consequentialist given sufficient time and information, but merely virtuous in a pinch. Because in a pinch, virtue ethics is consequentially superior... ethically. Ha.

Also, I assume your'll forgive me stealing your ethical heuristics? :)

I wouldn't share it if I didn't approve of others utilizing it. :) If you find any handy moral heuristics yourself, be sure to pass them forward.
