i'm sorry you feel my stating that i think you're missing the point is an insult. it's not. it's an opinion. (edit... i just looked at that post, and i probably could have worded it a bit less antagonistically. sorry).
and as an analogy to reply to your duty bound paragraph, if someone lies to you, that doesn't make it right to lie to them. so if someone else doesn't live up to their end of the bargin (even if it's because they feel the other persons life is at stake), that doesn't make it right for us to not live up to our end.
