That skill and knowledge (or logic) should be separate things strike me as a false dichotomy. Think of craftsmanship: we can program a robot to recreate even the finest work made by hand. The robot does this by following purely logical routines.
(and of course, whether something sounds dumb is ultimately irrelevant)
If you encounter repugnant choices, then presumably something is incorrect about your moral theory (as far as this is something undesired).I'm sorry if this makes no sense to you, but building moral laws from first principles always results in increasingly odd and counter intuitive consequences or obviously repugnant choices. It's a skill to be practiced in my opinion.
