Yes, though I do not know if it is more compelling. Morality factors into reality, it affects decisions being made. Not to go into theology, most people at least want to think of their actions as moral. You have to anticipate this when drawing up policies. If an amoral policy seems much clearer and more effective than a moral policy that's slow and fuzzy, it's probably because you've kept some factors out of the equation.

(this maxim can be applied to economic policy to great effect, I expect)
