Re: Cynical? Moi?
But my original point is more about the moral or ethical right thing, rather than practical physics, engineering or medicine. It's about behaviour.
I do not think one should isolate moral ideals from pragmatism. Doing the wrong thing because it makes you feel good (or for virtue signalling) is undesirable. Even if you thought, because of insufficient analysis, that what you were doing was a good thing.
Standing aside because you can't be arsed is undesirable. Standing aside because you've carefully examined all the options and concluded that standing aside is the best that can be done is a good thing.
YMMV.
