Well… a slightly more charitable way to represent eridu’s argument, IMO, would be something like this:
“I believe that you are sincere in your belief that you have never engaged in these nefarious behaviors which you’d just enumerated. Nonetheless, you do engage in many such behaviors, not because you are some mustachio-twirling villain, but because you see such behaviors as normal or even beneficial. You say that you have always done your best to avoid such actions, and I believe you, but your best simply isn’t good enough”.
