“CEV” would be the succinct explanation, but I don’t expect anybody to necessarily understand that,so..
If you could create a group of 7 non-extremist people randomly selected from the world population and they’d probably manage to agree that action X, even if not optimal, is a reasonable response to the situation, then X is an ordinary action to take.
(whether it’s a good action to take is a separate question. ordinariness is just about not containing any fatal flaws which would be obvious from the outside)
this depends entirely on the construction of the world’s population. If most people believe that torturing small animals and children for fun is reasonable, then I would definitely be reacting strongly to an ‘ordinary’ occurence.

True, except for the quotes.
