Seems to sum up the situation to me.
Different people seem to have different ideas of the standard of justification required to commit their life savings. I believe this is a big part of being human.
Clearly (to me) when the education of others is trusted to us, we teachers are under a moral duty to ensure that we are accountable for the justification each of us requires in this context. This seems to me to be where much of the discussion and disagreement sits.
I water my flowers in order that they do not die, does not for me need to justified by a detailed knowledge of the biology of plants. Feeding my children doesn’t require a scientific knowledge of nutrition.
