I think you've found a good analogy there in the concept of moral vs legal. We defined a fixed system to measure against (rule of law) to reduce ambiguity.

Moral code varies with time, place, and individual person. It is a decimal scale of gray rather than a binary true/false.

Places historically that didn't have rule of law left their citizens to the moral interpretation whim of whoever was in charge. The state could impose different punishments on different people for different reasons at different times.

AI models I find a similar fixed&defined vs unlimited&ambiguous issue in ADAS in cars.

German cars with ADAS are limited&defined, have a list of features they perform well, but that is all.

Tesla advertises their system as an all knowing, all seeing system with no defined limits. Of course every time there is an incident they'll let slip certain limits "well it can't really see kids shorter than 3ft" or "well it can't really detect cross traffic in this scenario" etc.
