Well Doyle, dear one, you have to assume 1] that sectarian idealism leads to o-c behavior and 2] that obsessive compulsive behavior is a bad thing. In either case, you are using it to suggest that o-c behavior is 'bad' or negative or not the most preferable state to be in in precisely the same way that Jim said that sight is preferable to blindness.
