We often seperate endorsing things from believing they are good, as endorsing them implies you would like them to be prevalent which leads to collective action issues. (E.g. I think it is ok to occasionally take more than your share share of the cake if you're hungry, I wouldn't encourage it as then there wouldn't be any cake left)
