There's never any easy answers to any dilemma, I think some people follow different schools of thought almost to the point of dogmatism.
Those in the Kant camp seem to have very polarising ideals (either you can or can't) where those in the Levinson camp see things in different shades of grey depending on the situation.
I'm still debating whether I should have put my cat in a box and if I should open the box to see if it's still alive. So I can't really give a valid opinion until I've opened the box to see.
