And yes, absolutely, to Lois and Clark having the same instinctual world view. That's Important, in terms of this show and the different characters' moral codes, you know?

That’s it, Clark and Lois have the same world view which is different from Oliver and Chloe’s. Clark and Lois struggle with the grey areas while ultimately wanting to push their actions to the white side of things while Chloe and Oliver embrace the grey area. All the more reason to not ship Chlark (and this articulates for me just exactly why I’ve felt that Chloe has never really understood Clark and why Clark never felt anything more than “friends” towards Chloe) but to ship Clois.
