Well, sorry but I still don't understand the difference. You are giving an
example of what it is to act according to a principle, just like John Cowan
did. But my problem is not there but in the "acting *because" of a principle".
Could you give me an example where acting because of a principle is not defined
only as compared to acting according to a principle? Maybe it would help me
grab a nuance that I currently fail to see.
