If 'respect' for a view or person can mean 'admire & endorse for own qualities' & 'strongly oppose but politely,' perhaps we shldn't use it

Cambridge says same but gives example "I have great/the greatest respect for his ideas, although I don't agree with them." Huh?

Either this is the view that the wrongness or rightness of ideas should have no impact on how we esteem/admire them or its incoherent.

Indeed, it's strongly reminiscent of pomo relativism. One should respect the person, not ideas. Especially wrong ones. :D

"respect" - it has become meaningless similar to "racist" and "sexist". It's used to mean all kinds of things other than respect
