1. He was correct on the grounds of his objections even if one might prefer a different primary filter. Not being a fool deserves some credit and certainly beats being a fool and also not having moral objections as well as being a fool with moral objections that were ignored due to being a fool.

Ideally, we'd lock onto someone with the strategic vision to at least like in this case to be able to see right in front of you coupled with a functioning moral compass.

2. Plenty of very prominent recently evolved folks some often presented as trusted champions at least in certain circles and get an unflinching pass for their own need to "evolve".
