if I understand correctly, you are trying to figure out a 1 reason for an answer you have however there might another theory that may contradict it or negate your reasoning. The answer is quite complex and may need the help of a philospher:
#1 It depends on the subject or the scope of your question:ie:Is murder wrong? if you want a yes answer then this question is wrong, because i could negate that reasoning by saying that killing cancer cells is not wrong but justified. You have to restrict the scope of the question.
#2 There are many moral norms-standards- society. Also many subjects and professions: The lawyer would answer legally and the scientist scientifically and so on.
#3 There is no one answer to your question and quite honestly it is thought-provoking that it may be a phd research paper
I dont think my answer is much because it goes much deeper than this

The problem is reasoning itself. The point of reasoning is to simplify: to put things in little boxes that can be completely understood. But life does not want to be put in boxes or categories. Life is everything all at once and altogether.
In science, we often try to isolate cause and effect. This is useful, but it cannot be done to perfection--anyone who has ever done physics experiments in high school ought to have a feel for what I'm talking about. Some other factor always intrudes on the answer you're looking for.
So what you are talking about is a limitation of the method of reasoning to understand the world. When the limitation becomes too powerful, a method other than reasoning must be used.

hmm... a theory is a theory because it's not true all the time, just most of the time; if you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a theory always works, then it's no longer a theory; it's a law.
Dont be too upset; just try to find something that isnt too obviously contradictory, or make provisions by saying that the contradiction is an exception.

Okay, after having read your question a couple of times, and giving it some thought to understand it, I can see you issue. I think precious 73 said it right: That's just life, HOWEVER, and herein lies the factor that contradicts an answer, there is one question or issue that has NO contradiction to it, meaning nothing worthy of any consideration, and that is: Who is God? Answer: There is Only One God, and that is Jesus our Christ, Son of the Living God. Anything else is a nonanswer. God Bless you.

God won't give us a problem we can't solve. But you're right whenever you thought your on to something then "bang!" something came up and your lost again. But that's life, it's full of mystery so just go on don't give-up there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy life!!! ^_^

Math is the only pure science. Everything in Math can be proven from a few postulates.

Can there be good without evil? Good without bad? Can there be right without wrong? Left without right? Without a comparison what makes it so?

It is because theory has a limitation. It is still not a fact that is why it is not reliable.
