Yeah. My point was that the “two envelopes problem for moral uncertainty” doesn’t apply to factual uncertainty. But certainly what conclusion results from applying factual uncertainty depends on one’s priors.
I agree that the two-envelope problem doesn’t apply to factual uncertainty. The whole thing gets significantly complicated by situations where it’s hard to specify how much of the uncertainty is moral and how much is factual.
I regard getting some good and usable answers to this as an important research topic within philosophy. Given that questions of pure moral uncertainty are still unresolved, you’d probably need to make assumptions about that half of things in order to get going.
