We can do better, going from "equivalent" to "typically equivalent" to "sometimes equivalent" to "rarely equivalent" to "never equivalent". If virtually all native and non-native, technical and non-technical, English speakers across in the world understand "typically equivalent", why would we say "morally equivalent", which few understand clearly? P.S. Personally, I would read "morally" in this context as a typo.
