Cool, yeah, then I think we are just arguing semantics. I was intending to include that in this second sentence:
Or if so, I would strongly suspect the perceived reprehensibility of it would be downstream of a rationalization, not actually thinking about it.
I think people’s rationalization can result in things pretty reasonably described as “sincere belief” so I don’t disagree. I just also think it reflects badly on you if you end up doing that. Hence my belief “I don’t really see a strong case for his views on these things being morally reprehensible in any substantial magnitude”.
