Summary
The author concludes that all commitments should be seen as morally neutral.
Why?
Because a commitment can either be good or bad.
Some commitments deserve no praise.
Some commitments have outlasted their original justification.
Notable Assumptions
Notice that the conclusion asserts that “all” commitments are “morally neutral.” But the premises don’t tell us about “all” commitment — they only tell us some random facts about some commitments.
In addition, the premises don’t tell us about what should be considered “morally neutral.” In fact, one premise indicates that some commitment are “good” or “bad.” So it’s odd for the author to conclude that “all” commitments are morally neutral.
We want a principle that gets us from at least one of the premises to the claim that “all” commitments are morally neutral.
