Sure, but what is an example of an ambiguous moral decision? I ask because I've never personally been presented with a single morally ambiguous decision in my life. I've always known (or had had an apprehension of) right from wrong, no matter how I acted on that knowledge.
Just like people may never have any actual need for a microscope...it may be the case that the moral decisions (or any other intuitive acts) which commonly present themselves in our life don't need careful scrutiny (or satellite targeting) to hit their marks.
Trying to avoid the morally ambiguous may be like trying to avoid bigfoot. You'll succeed...but not..actually..because you tried.
Cheering on the home time doesn't strike me as morally ambiguous, just common. Good lord, omnibenevolent master of the universe, make their boys miss and burn their fields to the ground and prevent them from a moments good rest..and all that.
