 For others, standing is more specifically tied to whatever it is that makes hypocritical blame inappropriate. We said above that hypocritical blame is often treated as a paradigm case of standingless blame, so it makes sense that some theorists would see the case of the hypocrite as what provides content to the notion of standing. Other instances of standingless blame would then be other scenarios that are relevantly similar to whatever is happening in the case of the hypocrite. This way of understanding standing leaves open the possibility that there may be some facts about the blamer that are independent of standing but which render blame inappropriate.
