I don’t actually understand how to be “more charitable” or “less charitable” here—I’m trying to make sense of what you’re saying, and don’t see any point in making up a different but similar-sounding opinion which I approve of.
If I try to back out what motives lead to tracking the average level of morality (as opposed to trying to do decision theory on specific cases), it ends up to be about managing how much you blame yourself for things (i.e. trying to “be” “good”); I actually don’t see how thinking about global outcomes would get you there.
If you have a different motivation that led you there, you’re in a better position to explain it than I am.
