Accusations of hypocrisy are pointing out an inconsistency.
They can be correct.
They can be incorrect, by failing to take into account the entire value structure correctly, either by mistake, or on purpose to score a cheap gotcha in a debate; for example: “If you really care about A, how can you do X?” “I do care about A, but I also care (more) about B, therefore X.”
I guess they can also be irrelevant if consistency is not among the target’s values.
