Competing Virtues. This next response can be seen as a different version of the previous one. It calls into question the first stage of the Harman/Doris argument by suggesting that the results of the relevant studies are best interpreted, not as demonstrating a lack of virtue, but rather as suggesting the contribution of competing virtues. Or a weaker version of this response would say that, at the very least, Harman and Doris have not done enough to rule out this hypothesis.
