But the failure of one person (however prominent) is not similar to the failure of most people who subscribe to a moral system.
Maybe not most people, though I find it hard to think of any moral injunction that most people won't violate given the right circumstances, but certainly many people (unless the failing person is a genuinely odd psychopathic type).
