True, and you also cannot predict how you would exactly do under such situations. However, you can also make conscious decisions about situations like this - in retrospect, as thought experiments, or when setting codes for moral or judicial systems. ("What is the maximum P with which you would condemn someone who does not jump to jail"), and similar questions.
