You said that my proposition was simplistic, implying irrational/stupid
through simplicity. I was saying that it's not the complexity of an idea
that makes it good, and also, how does breaking the one 'central'
moral/guideline into many higher-level rules make for a better system? I
argue that in fact, it makes the situation much, much worse (see my original
post).

morals?

You are on to something here, whether you realise it or not.
