Principles are genuinely great - I strongly respect being principled.

Principles that are not re-evaluated in context with a changing human society, are just dogma. I respect that, but I call it what it is.

I like the way you phrased the last paragraph a lot. Thanks for pointing it out, as I have personally been struggling to articulate why some principles are not the same as others in this context, but your comment perfectly cleared it up in my head.
