deontological responses … arise from some sort of error, or poor thinking.
I don’t understand the complaint. Deontology is simple: you just apply the fixed rules. If in a particular situation the fixed rules lead to an undesirable outcome, that’s too bad but that’s how deontology works—it is explicitly NOT consequentialism—and that has nothing do with “poor thinking”.
