It'd still be true in context tho we might wish they had better judgement about who to respect.

Let's say that someone uses Peter's exact words about their lack of respect for the opinions of say Richard Dawkins on religion.

They'd be being honest. We might think they shld respect him but if they don't, his opinion will have no weight.

It would still be true. They are only considering the opinions of ppl they respect & everything else irrelevant.

To make doing this a good thing, you'd need a good criteria for respecting ppl's thinking. That's what Peter's all abt really.

I doubt very much it means "everyone shld only listen to ppl they respect whatever their criteria for doing so"

my point is, to use your word: criteria. Respect isnt best criteria. Best opinions are those formed upon reason & evidence. 1/2
