“Practically speaking, however, since no one knew of their discovery but them, these issues conflated into a spiritual test - which they passed. “

Or as I have heard put another way, “doing the right thing when no one is looking”

Good they did the right thing. A clear conscience is a good thing.

Your true character shows when no one is looking at how you act.
