You didn't get the gist of my post.
I don't trust Rembert Weakland, for example. Not in the least. No how. No way. He's screwed me personally, viciously, and wilfully.
Having said that, if Weakland says 'thou shalt NOT commit adultery,' I'd still believe it.
The point is that if an individual speaks the truth, regardless of their personal character, it is the TRUTH that we respect and observe.
Considering Weakland's proclivities, perhaps an unfortunate choice of words :-)
