I think I am arguing for recognizing /parochial/  (qualitative) as well
as /provincial (quantitative) /scoping errors. 

This article
<http://www.ethicsdefined.org/the-problem-with-morality/conservatives-vs-liberals/>
is not the precise argument I am looking for, but it does generally
reflect one that I encountered a few years ago which I think suggested
that not only do Conservatives hold Authority/Ingroup/Purity *higher* 
than Fairness and a very close 2nd,3rd,4th to Harm, but that they tend
to experience Authority/Ingroup/Purity as something more like
Loyalty/Honor.   Both this article and the line of argument I can't
precisely remember/find seemed to suggest that Liberals ethics were
*simpler* than  Conservatives which I think is vaguely specious?
