Exactly! The "code is law" comparison is perfect - same rigid thinking that prioritizes abstract principles over actual human welfare.

These NAP purists would literally stand there calculating property rights while a kid drowns. It's not principled, it's sociopathic.

The real world is messy. Good ethics means being able to say "yeah my general rule applies 99% of the time, but this is the 1% where I'm not an ideological robot."

Anyone who can't make that distinction has never actually been responsible for another human being. Easy to be pure when you're just posting theory from mom's basement.
