That was not praise, dr. bill. That was a subtle way of pointing out that generalities, however high-sounding, can be foolish when applied to particular cases.
Or alternatively, that foolish actions in particular cases can be whitewashed with glittering generalities.
The adage expressing this, I believe, is, "The Devil can cite Scripture for his own purposes."
