Most people don't sort it out precisely, as should be obvious. So we know that an exact knowledge is not required for actual moral conduct. Consequently, any theory that requires a precise knowledge to be workable is not a theory that explains what actually occurs with real people. Which means such a theory is irrelevant to explaining what people really do when it comes to morality.
Also, your answer makes me think of the film The Meaning of Life. It is worth watching.
