Moreover, if a superficially attractive idea (one should act to maximize the happiness of the greatest number), upon further exploration, leads to an abhorrent conclusion, surely we should know about it?

We should certainly know about it, but how is it explained at Princeton that the conclusion is abhorrent?

Well, that's the great thing about the marketplace of ideas, isn't it; you and I can look at it and decide it's abhorrent!
