Q: should you push a fat man in front of a train?
A: no, of course not.
Q: but he's in front of a train! He's going to be run over! Don't you want to save him?

the real lessons here are of sophistry and how to gaslight people, but superficiallly it's deep thoughts about morality. Just think of the people who come away with only the moral lesson, as the people who are helping to subsidize the education of the future politicians among them who learn the other lesson.
