It occurs to me to remember that in most matters people have more than one reason for doing things, and we (including me) tend to forget that. We object to someone giving what they think is someone else's reason for acting, because it's not what the objector sees as the number one reason for doing that something. But it could be a very good number two (or number three) reason, and why should my number two have to be the same as your number one (rhetorical question)? Just an idle thought on Sunday morning.
