"Now, in common parlance, minimum standards of this sort are called duties. I cannot see how you can have more than a linguistic quibble about the matter. Surely you recognize that it is blameworthy to be ignorant (unless circumstances were exigent); that it is blameworthy to be lazy; that it is blameworthy to be shallow; and so on."

I don't know how you move from the quibble to the squabble? She has already told you that "blameworthy" is relative between societies and peoples. Probably, you agree in the details overall because of your similar natures and culture. But why do YOU seek to impose and trample?
