    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→If negligent killings can be graded by degree of deviation from due care, as tort law and common moral practice confirm, then action-based obligations need not be overbroad but can be indexed to culpable risk-imposition.

    Moral intuitions treat a driver texting differently from one slightly exceeding speed limits, suggesting obligations naturally track degrees of risk imposition, not binary categories.

    Key Terms

    Binary categories(in logic and classification)
    A system that only allows two opposite choices—something is either one thing or the other, with nothing in between (like on/off or guilty/innocent).
    Obligations(as used in ethics)
    Duties or responsibilities you have — things you're supposed to do because they're right or required.
    Risk imposition(in ethics)
    When someone exposes another person to danger or potential harm for their own benefit, without that person's agreement.
    Track(logic and argument)
    In philosophy, this means 'correspond to' or 'align with'—so 'deontic distinctions track blame' means moral rules match up with who we blame.
