Of course with every piece of information you add to the scenario, the calculus may change.

I'm with you there, but the example you gave is very different from the ultra-simplistic example I gave.

Their example maps to reality (at least the current topic) much better, though
Perhaps, but the point I was trying to make was very limited in scope, and on a different level of abstraction. All I needed to argue was that extraordinary circumstances can affect the moral calculus in general, and not that it did so in any particular contemporary real-life example.
I agree
