A system can be more evil than the sum of the evil of its human parts. If you don’t account for emergent evil, you’ll end up with a useless morality where you can’t distinguish between people within human range of good/evil at all. It’s like adding a big constant to your y-axis.

I hear you. But NNP (c) is a vector quantity and evil is scalar. Moving from human sacrifice to slavery is NNP (c) +ve, but slavery is evil per se.

A scalar potential needs a ground reference V0. We don’t actually shift that until we find a new reachable ground. In 100y when lab-grown meat is common, meat-eating may be judged evil per-se. When artificial wombs become possible, pregnancy may become evil per se.
