Ok, that's fine, but I am still going to praise him. This took courage to do.
Even if he's wrong about other things, he did the right thing here. How are we ever going to incentivize people to do the right thing if they are going to get shit for it either way?
There's a time and place to criticize him, but right now at this moment I'm more than happy to simply praise him.
