"One way a moral judgment can go wrong--and sometimes shown to go wrong--is by failing to be impartial. To say that the opinion is represented as being impartial is not to say that it will be successful in actually being impartial. If you are not (even) representing that the opinion is impartial, then the opinion is not a moral opinion at all. If you are representing that the opinion is impartial, and, in fact, it is not, then the opinion is a moral one, but it's just not a good one."

- Stephen Cohen from "The Nature of Moral Reasoning: The Framework and Activities of Ethical Deliberation, Argument and Decision-Making."
