The doctor smoking does not invalidate their assessment that smoking is bad for you, nor does it make his other "doctoring" services less quality.

For more reasons why (some/small) compromises should be allowed and not considered completely against the core value, see religious extremism.

I don't even consider it a compromise, because literally no one arguing to use GA anyway seems to be able to present both sides of the scale considering the compromise.
