"The rules" are only good if they can be leveraged to produce a good outcome. Fidelity to "procedure" has no moral worth in of itself.

Replying to @mtracey
Proceduralism generally doesn't work as an ethical system because it's unmoored in any real principle. Thus, people get annoyed at liberals.

"Proceduralism" only tends to work if the rules are imparted by divine authority. Good luck hashing that one out...
