Two types of people: those who are willing to cross that line, and those who are brave enough to call the exception and dive into the moral greyzone when the need calls for it.
I have trouble with the statement of this article. I'm not perfect. Through my experience, I've had times when I've blundered into that gray-zone, I've had times when I declined to cross that line. In the end, I think I've been pretty successful in my endeavors but the more experience I have the more I realize how many different paths there are to reach an end. And in hindsight, I'm most proud of getting things done by putting in that extra effort to think of a way to achieve something without undermining integrity. We're human so I think we've all had this experience but I think I'm mature enough now to have the patience and understanding that solid values coupled with work ethic can trump a lot more problems than a lot of people think.
That said, I can understand the author's argument if what he means is that moral gray-zone of not right vs. wrong, but right vs. right decisions. Now that is a tough one. :-)
