Woah, slow down, roachboy. I'm still trying to get my head around why having convictions for the sake of having them is perhaps the highest ideal.
I seem to keep coming to the same conclusion: it's hard to demonstrate and express one's own convictions when one's job is to manage, control, or otherwise undo the damage caused by the convictions of others.
