The Like/Hate Thread

[Rem-13]

Now I only watched the 9:30 part, so I can't speak to the whole concept of scientific moral codes, but where is the inherent fallacy with the chess analogy? I imagine he was making the point of a higher minded 'greater good' in which the initial moral setback of lying can be justified for the greater moral gain of bringing about something particularly beneficial, much in the way of losing the most versatile piece on the board, individually a bad thing, can bring about an eventual win. Seems perfectly apt to me.
