Some people say simplistic things like "killing people is wrong" but when they analyse it they do not mean that. They mean something like "killing people is usually wrong but not in the following cases...". And even that is problematic since most people cannot really specify what they mean by "wrong".
No nothing is simplistic about it, it's very clear what is wrong is what the society you live in says is wrong.
