I don't know why you're getting down votes, because yes, I did. But my point isn't that contractarian ethics is how we should make decisions, it's that it's what's driving the grandparent's moral intuition — they even refer to a contract — and that what they're pointing out is actually a classic problem with that sort of ethical reasoning.
