"Thou shalt not kill" is also an absolute bedrock principle which is, of course, impossible to literally always follow.

But it's still a very important guidepost around which to orient your principles.

"Freedom of most OK speech is absolute" is a useless principle. Which is why we should not frame the freedom of speech as such.

I... am?

This is actually my entire point. It's a principle broken on many occasions, but nobody walks around saying "Oh, we shouldn't even TALK about not killing — that's IGNORANT — because there are so many exceptions where it's okay to kill people."

You can still guide around important principles, even if reality imposes exceptions!
