What is your answer?
We can't be absolutely certain about what we ought to do in a concrete situation -- because
{ 1 } - whether the particular act was right or wrong is neither self-evident nor provable from self-evident propositions.
{ 2 } - we can't know all act's consequences; so we can't know if there was a conflicting prima facie duty that we didn't take into account.
{ 3 } - both of the above.
