I don't need to do deliberate calculations in my head to reach the position that torturing babies is wrong. but if you were asked to provide an elaborate explanation for what makes torturing babies, then you can't just say "it's because".
Why not, why can’t I say it’s wrong because it’s dark? Like if someone asked why do you think the ball is yellow, with the response being that yellow is what I see, that’s why
What’s the purpose of the justification, if the perception is sufficient enough to recognize it was wrong?
Why do I think the ball is yellow is a different question from what makes the ball yellow.
I see the ball is yellow, and that's enough for me to conclude the ball is yellow.
But my perception won't explain why the ball is yellow.
