Thanks, that helped me sharpen my intuitions about what triggers the “appalled” reaction.
I think I’m still left with: People may very reasonably say that fraud in the service of effective altruism is appalling. Then it’s pretty normal and understandable (even if by my lights unreasonable) to label as “appalling” things which you think will predictably lead others to appalling action.

I mean, lots of fallacious reasoning is “normal and understandable”, but I’m still confused when philosophers do it—I expect better from them!
