This then is just for my own amusement, feel free to ignore.
A hypocrite is a type of liar--a person who pretends to principles he doesn't actually believe in. If a person does believe in a principle, but is nonetheless willing to sacrifice it to a 'higher' principle, are they still a hypocrite? Maybe a half-hypocrite? Is this where some of those famous 'shades of grey' come it?
