Quite. However, the measure that I would use is capability to do the job.
Of course he was wrong to breach the guidelines. However, in the scheme of things, this is the least of our genuine worries. If you have never breached the guidelines, you are one of a small number of people, I would suggest.
I would far rather that Matt Hancock pursued the coronavirus plan to its conclusion and then got on with the care home funding and restructuring review. That’s what we should be talking about because that is what matters.

I would suggest you are wrong, and I would further suggest that this is the self-justifying excuse used by those who do breach the rules, by telling themselves "
well, everybody’s doing it, so it’s alright if I do it", especially those who disagreed with the guidelines in the first place…

That's right. Once you are 'unassailable' you are toast.

The overall plan was, but not the detail.

That’s not how planning works - the review of "where are we now" happens first, which identifies needs, issues, non-functional requirements, high-level budgets, resource requirements, and timescales. From those, a plan is put together.
Review current state first, then agree future state, then put together a plan to deliver future state - that’s the normal process.
