Outrage over hypocrisy is a juvenile emotion. It posits that no ideal should be pursued unless it is already attained.

Nothing juvenile about being disgusted by self-righteous "do as I say, not as I do" frauds. If you're going to preach about the way to lead the good life to the unwashed masses, you'd better be a saint yourself, or at least have your own house in order.
