Oh wow, this puts words to an insight I've had and lived by for a long time.

I think I'm not just a moral incompletist but also a moral inconsistentist.

My take on the trolley problem is that while it's "best" in some sense to throw the lever, it's not wrong not to. And generally the goal should be "tend towards greater than zero" instead of "maximize morality points". Missed opportunities for moral behavior count as 0 and carry that neutral emotional valence instead of being a negative thing to agonize over.
