The point about “everyone understands it” as he makes clear, is that giving reasons for it undermines how bad and beyond the pale it is – and so it should be for a Torah jew. Being a jew in the 1950s was ideologically much easier. The fact that the world changed means it deteriorated, not that rav moshe was thinking the way that the world did, but rather the world though like rav Moshe! (And any othet observant jew at the time)
