I doubt that there's any moral content to my knowing exactly how many jelly beans are in a jar - but If I'm told that someone's life depends on my getting it right I'm not going to phone it in. I'll be counting every bean multiple ways multiple times, lol.
Brings me back to something Lucian mentioned..that our beliefs about morality have often lead to poor outcomes. Is it because we believe in morality, or because we had some pertinent fact about morality wrong? The role of women being the example - was it because we believed there is the possibility of true and false answers to this question that misery ensued, or is it because we went with a false one?
