That's a universal argument against having any morals. I wholly reject your apparent position. It is simply venal, wholly convenient for your own self-enrichment, damn the consequences - it's pretty much evil personified. You're a cog in a machine that runs on human suffering, and you're actively denying your culpability.

Yes indeed, we only find out where our line is when we consider problems in isolation. But just because you can only find out where the line is by poking out some other line and finding out where the two cross over, is no excuse not to define a line. It is absolutely not right.

You're beating a strawman here. I didn't say you can't make any moral judgements. Yeah, read it again.

I'm saying you can't expect people to have a "value system". It's just not a thing that someone other than a specialist would be able to enumerate.

Well I hope that satisfies you to write. You, of course, had no skin in that game.

Excellent point.

There is no excuse for any of us to behave like the moral equivalent of a paperclip maximizer.
