I'm starting to think that the biggest problem for global/scalar consequentialism is that, rightly conceived, it tells moral philosophers that they ought not be moral philosophers. (Which is one story to tell about utilitarianism: the fundamental 'moral philosophy' questions were worked out no later than Sidgwick, after which point they all became economists. And soon enough forgot the philosophy.) I've never thought the 'self-undermining' objection a reason to disbelieve consequentialism, but this sociological variant seems to do some explanatory work...
