If their accusations are incorrect, then the Pharisee analogy would not apply, and the stones are being cast at the wrong people.

Tench,

I read the bible when I was a kid so its been a while and I am doing this from memory. However, my understanding of the point that Jesus was trying to make was not that the Pharisees were in the right but rather who were they to condemn someone else....for what was in reality less than a heinous crime. The important issue was not that they were correct or not correct....it was the quality of their judgement.

You give the Pharisees too much respect; much more than I think Jesus gave them. I have found the standards placed around sexual conduct have often bordered on the hypocritical and superficial. It seems the ones most perverse and who least enjoy it are the ones most critical.
