Two points.

1. A label does not establish the rightness or wrongness of a position. This is
the objection to those who introduce the concept of "PC" into political
discourse. If a proposition is wrong (or if you think it is wrong), argue
against it. Calling it PC *avoids* confronting it intellectually. It is a
cop-out.

2. An intellectual error is not a character flaw.

And I suppose a third point, or perhaps a corollary to the second:

2a. A flawed character does not necessarily produce intellectual error, or

2b. Slobs can be right just as wonderful people can be wrong, or

2c. Criminals damn well may have intellectual interests. Pound was wrong on
that.
