I think you’d need to be specific about your definitions for ‘practical’ and ‘consequences’ to argue for that. I think in hereabouts parlance, you’re saying something like “Your utility function might put a higher value on ‘love’ and ‘charity’ than on strangers’ lives”. Which would be a harder bullet to bite.

I was saying that “they could just as easily argue”—ie. I was using the terms that those people would use.
