Your use of the phrase "at least" clearly implies that you *were* defending 
(or at least excusing) them.

My point, of course, which was obvious to all whose jerking knees did not

knowing whether you are or not -- but rather that you were buying into a 
philosophy which has rather serious potential consequences.
