Promises, promises.

Really I was engaging in a little rhetorical licence … for it is impossible to be evil without being developmentally arrested.

And, I’m afraid that, whilst our affliction may be domain specific, being a simpleton is not a temporally discrete affair — even when not engaged in a sphere in which our limitation has any impact, it is still an aspect of who we are (Hitler didn’t stop being a genocidal maniac when he was being kind to children and animals, he just wasn’t committing genocide in those moments).

By their very nature, neither of those two things are something one can promise to mitigate any more than one can promise not to be follically challenged or not to have whatever colour eyes one has — they are defining characteristics, without which one would be someone else.

You get some credit for effort and creativity, but not sufficient to be considered a ‘pretty good citizen’ for that alone, no.

Sorry.
