Honor's Paradox

[rolanni]

If you honorably serve a dishonored master, is your personal honor unsullied?

Discuss, with examples.


ETA: Lotsa people ducking the question here. Interesting.

The question lacking a bit context. Should we possibly infer that this question bears upon Liaden story lines such as ValCon serving the Dept of the Interior or dea'Gauss serving Korval ? Do you want a more general sense of how such questions play out in life ?

Perhaps the poser of the question would enlighten the rest of us about the perceived benefit of reading the answers ?

I have found the question "what do you wish to do with that information ?" to be generally useful in framing many answers. I think much of the discussion is noodling around the question of "what do you really want to know and why ?" and being willing to say "could you possibly mean X" then working from there.
