So, yeah, an action morally excusable for one, may be an action to the detriment of society.
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I'm strictly talking about morality; legality hasn't entered into this yet. And anyway, legality is often a public imposition of the morals of society. For example minimum wage laws exist because most of us find it immoral or at least distasteful for people to be paid in accordance with the market value of their work, when that value is lower than a certain level at least.
Could you be more specific about which of my hypothetical actions are a detriment to society and why?
