Circumstances can help explain, but never excuse unethical behavior

Systems can make such failures inevitable. The language of "blame" vs. "excuse" is not the most relevant.

Are you saying unethical behavior is not a choice but forced by the system? That it would be unreasonable to expect people to behave ethically in situation were the system is set up in a way that does not reward ethical behavior? That lying and cheating can always be excused because if people didn't, they would endager their societal status?

		No. That's a wild gallop off in a pointless direction using the same irrelevant language.
