Something funny is going on with people's moral reasoning here

Based on my general experience, I would say that most people engage in what I would call "Miss America Moral Reasoning," i.e. their main priority is to figure out what position will be most impressive to the (perceived) judges.

Do rationalists and/or wannabe rationalists behave in this way? Probably a lot do, but it's rather hard to assess.
