Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

I agree that everyone has the right to chime in on this topic. :)
But if Lizard is clearly off the mark, then you surprised me.
No, the fact that you brought up the "decision based solely on moral grounds" shows that your perception is skewed. There's nothing to comment on. Well done, you figured it out, you can now take off your hat.
What's more interesting to me is what kind of books you and your generation are reading that lead you to come up with such gems:

Let's leave the moral aspect of this abuse aside, as moral norms and boundaries vary greatly among individuals and can differ significantly even within the context of "generally accepted moral values" - making an official decision based solely on this is at least incorrect.

Maybe you could provide some kind of scale, I'd like to see how you're going to "vary" "generally accepted moral values."
