My question would be: do you feel free to change your principles at will, without feeling the need to take consult (bad term, but let's use it for the moment) societal, religious, etc. leaders and accepted principles? If so, IMO, no, you're not a PMP.

hmmmm, by that definition, I am not a PMP.

Or, do you believe that before you change or abandon a fundamental principle you believe it is necesary to consider the views and opinions of "respected" and recognized leaders of society, whether priesthood, monarchy, political leaders, wise men and women, or whatever. If so, IMO you're a PMP.

Switching it around a little, if your personal "respected" leader of society changed their a fundamental principle which you believed, would you feel obligated to change yours to match theirs?

This definition seems to be as fluid with the principles and values as what I thought the OP's was.
