Wouldn't that decision from a troll depend rather on whether it's smart
or stupid to eat the object rather than whether it's moral or immoral?
Eating that tasty looking young human over there is tempting, but not
very smart since his aunt standing next to him is a Sword of Humakt
with an iron broadsword at her side. Moral on the other hand, what's that?
Of course trolls can assess the results of their actions, but they are
more interesting if their conclusions are based on something other than
morality.
