> What is a 'moral equivalence' in Emacs Lisp?

I have actually seen this expression used in a similar manner
in what is supposed to be a serious mathematical textbook.
Grimmett & Welsh, in "Probability, An Introduction" state

"A slightly different but morally equivalent definition of a
discrete random variable is a function X : Omega -> R such
that there exists a countable subset S ⊆ R with P(X ∈ S) = 1."
