Full Idea
I might make parallel 'mistakes' in ethical deliberation. For instance I might 1) use inconsistent ethical principles, 2) have inappropriate moral standards, and 3) apply moral standards inappropriately.
Gist of Idea
Errors in moral practice might be inconsistent or inappropriate principles, or inappropriate application

A Reaction
I would want to get the word 'values' in there somewhere. Dogmatic application of moral rules might indicate a failure of values.
