We disagree, then, on what morality really is. That's okay--nebulous words like "morality" are often hard to pin down. But it's important to be aware who means what when they use the word.

It's true that wrong beliefs about the physical world often mean the action that looks like producing the least harm at the time turns out to be what I think of as immoral--causing more-than-the-least-harm. This is why I think learning the truth about the physical world is, in some ways, a moral issue. Not bothering to try risks mistakes--honest mistakes, but made out of laziness about learning about the real world--that hurt people.
