They very well might. It's what follows that needs scrutiny.
Having been right, there was some pride in adhering to a dumb fallacy: It's that if A is beneficial, then B thru Z must be beneficial. Together, A-Z become an ethics-defining principle.
But it's non-reasoned, lazy even. Only beneficial things are beneficial. B thru Z are only what each is eventually shown to be.
