Why a deference to subjective metrics expresses itself as incoherence, special pleading, or ambiguity down the line. Turning any attendant moral calculus into meaningless busywork.
I'm not saying that feeling is a moral metric. I'm saying that morality itself is an expression of our feelings about things-- specifically, feelings of value about life, property, etc. If nobody gave a shit about their kids or their property, then there would really be no need for morality.
