    Depends on what lesson you think they’re trying to teach. “When you know the right thing to do, don’t let people use rules and obstructions to stop you from doing it.” can be a good lesson.

      Throughout history, a terrible number of people have died because some zealot thought they were doing the right thing.

      If a police officer “knows” someone is guilty, what do you think about breaking the rules to ensure they are punished?
