Could he be given fake situations/questions? Sure.
Knowing his work, I can't help but think this is a little beneath him. The grift is excellent, though. Maybe he makes up the questions to justify his 10's of thousands a year consulting fees for the NY Times
This isn't real. This is made up to be clickbait.
The "ask the ethicist" guy is a philosopher with a Wikipedia page.
Could he be given fake situations/questions? Sure.
Answering fake questions sums up philosophy nicely tbh
In that case Appiah might be the best philosopher who has ever lived. Or ever will live.

Haha. I thought of them making up questions for him. But I didn't consider that he's the only liar. In fact - that makes a lot more sense.
