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.

Knowing the properties of yellow, isn’t required to justify the recognition that the ball of yellow. In fact you can be fairly ignorant of that,

It should also be said that none of the moral frameworks often espoused explains why the holocausts is perceived as dark. Sayings it’s because it’s detrimental to overall well-being is false.
