The first gives you rights, but at the cost of responsibilities.
Correct. Bel, what if in his texts to his married mistress (another huge no no), he claimed he hated Jews, blacks or some other group? Would you be of the same opinion then? Once a bias is revealed it can't be unseen, that person is now tainted by that bias and all their past decisions will be re-reviewed through a prism of potential bias. You effectively invalidate your ability to do your job in a professional, unbiased, manner. The fact that he had previously been able to keep his bias a secret does not lesson its impact once revealed, regardless of how that occurs.
