english: Because they're very dangerous. If we set about saying, for example, torture is wrong because it doesn't extract good information, or we say, you need women's rights because it stimulates economic growth by doubling the size of the work force, you leave yourself open to the position where the government of North Korea can turn around and say, "Well actually, we're having a lot of success extracting good information with our torture at the moment," or the government of Saudi Arabia to say, "Well, our economic growth's okay, thank you very much, considerably better than yours, so maybe we don't need to go ahead with this program on women's rights."
non_english: Zato što su veoma opasni. Ukoliko započnemo sa tvrdnjom, na primer, mučenje je pogrešno jer ne obezbeđuje dobre informacije ili ako tvrdimo, trebaju vam prava žena zato što podstiču ekonomski razvoj  udvostručujući broj radno sposobnih, postavljamo sebe u ranjiv položaj, gde vlada u severnoj Koreji može da se okrene i tvrdi: “U stvari, sada smo veoma uspešni u dobijanju dobrih informacija našim metodama mučenja”, ili vlada u Saudijskoj Arabiji može da kaže: “Mnogo vam hvala, naš ekonomski razvoj je u redu, značajno bolji nego vaš, pa možda i ne treba da započinjemo  taj program o pravima žena.”
