The trouble with questions of morality and judgment is that if there is one morally best option, that takes brain power to find and verify as best. It may not be the same kind of brain power that finds and verifies a mathematical proof, or a new network protocol, or a force of nature. But it is still brain power. And not everyone will be equally adept at it, or even have the same level of biological potential for it. In other words, if there really is one right answer morally, then finding it becomes in some sense academic. It becomes a matter of getting the right answer on the test of life.

We have this simplifying ideal that everyone knows right from wrong, and some people simply choose to do wrong.

If that's your basic belief, I think you live in a fantasy world.
