I think the problem is that unethical people have an insurmountable competitive advantage in getting jobs as an ethicist. At least if these are academic roles, you have to publish to be a viable candidate, it’s a lot easier to say a new and false thing about ethics than a new and true thing, and reality won’t slap you in the face for being wrong the way it would in science. So you’d probably need to aim to be able to influence the hiring process somehow w/o being subject to the perverse incentives.
