Godwin and Abelson raise some interesting legal points.
Gates' main straw man is one William Godwin, who in 1793 argued that if you can rescue either your mother or Archbishop Fenelon from a burning house, "you go for the Archbishop, since he has the greater social contribution to make."
In Gates' essay, those who would favor a stand of principle over the ties of blut and boden (or even business)--whistle-blowers, antiwar dissenters, anyone who says "I often place my duty to society above my duty to my company"--are characterized as "William Godwin types all, letting their own dear mothers burn to a crisp with nary a second thought while they grandly escort some silk-bedizened cleric to safety."
I stand by my legal analysis, which I believe is based on the most natural reading of the cases; I do not believe I am guilty of any "basic legal errors" that Godwin and Abelson ascribe to me.
Of course, Gates comically stacks the deck with the Godwin example, since Godwin asks that we rescue the cleric, not in the name of truth but in the name of some sort of obnoxious aristocratic utilitarianism.
