What I find missing on this site is a distinction between several related, but different, categories:
* Whether an action is morally acceptable.
* Whether an action is morally optimal.
* Whether an action is morally required.
* Whether an action is ethically acceptable.
* Whether an action is ethically required.
* Whether an action is what you would do if you had time to think.
* Whether an action is what you think you would do if you had to act quickly.
* Whether an action is actually what you would do if you had to act quickly.
(Note, in this list I have deliberately left out some possible wordings, such as "ethicially optimal", which I believe don't exist.)
