Again, you are trying to find a reason why he shouldn't do something - isn't it better that something is done, rather than find reasons why not?

We can always find some examples which will make someone look bad - shouldn't we be looking for examples that help?

It would appear you are trying to provide a reason for why this person should do something that is perfectly reasonable.

Trying to make it black/white is along the same lines as stating that you know someone that was killed in a car accident, so you wouldn't get in a car - it's not that simple (as I am sure you know, but hey, why not let a philosophical nit-picking exercise stop someone reporting a crime).

btw, rather than having to justify why he should perform this act, why not give reasons why he shouldn't?
