ie, in the same spirit, I'd say "never ever ever ever violate the ethical injunction" and "except when you're supposed to. but still, don't do it. but still, do it if you must. No, that doesn't count as 'must', you can manage it another way. nope, not that either. nope, all the knock on effects there would end up being even worse. Nope, still wrong..."

I endorse this viewpoint, but I don't admit it to myself.
