You may be viewing harm differently than others, but not in those scenarios. Pretty sure we can all agree that none of the harm that you're describing is immoral. Otherwise, someone would be a 5 on the Harm scale, not somewhere lower in the 2's or 3s.

I'm curious, were most of your answers on either end of the spectrum? Strongly agreeing or strongly disagreeing? Do you typically avoid the inner parts of the scale on such questionnaires?
