Ethicist: A person who treats others well is more worthy of praise if this treatment is at least partially motivated by feelings of compassion than if it is entirely motivated by cold and dispassionate concern for moral obligation. This is so despite the fact that a person can choose to do what is morally right but cannot choose to have feelings.
If the ethicist's statements are true, then only what is subject to a person's choice should be used in measuring the praiseworthiness of that person could be true EXCEPT.
