But you can’t argue with the scienceTM!

    Like, why should we assume that someone who is (e.g.) honest is also generous?

    We should not.

    Source: am honest, but not particularly generous.

      Agreed. I’m generous but not honest.

      I may work overtime, but I’m definitely taking things from the storeroom on steal from work day.
