If a child was drowning in shallow water and you were the only one around to help, I think you would be morally obligated to do you best to save them. Doing nothing would be committing something
we already have a concept of moral duties, which is what this seems to be speaking toward. but the inelegancy of equating inaction with action is just muddying the waters for a productive conversation.
