Sure, but that wasn’t being praised. Adherence to principles was, hence I
provided an example of why one mightn’t praise it so highly. I certainly don’t.

The moral and ethical significance lies in the content of the principles,

More along the lines of “Praise motivations, not actions.”

But enough straying to .debate material.
