M. Grégoire#RevisionistHistory s04e06 "Dr. Rock's Taxonomy" is highly disappointing. Yes, it's sometimes easier to agree on specific cases than on general principles; yes, casuistry has its place in understanding how rules apply.

The episode makes Paul VI's teaching seem like *stare decisis* of a completely arbitrary rule.
