Maybe it's my residual Catholicism showing through, but I think hypocrisy matters if people prominently go about telling other people how to live their lives, and then act in a completely different way in private (writing a piece denouncing abortion, say, almost at the very moment one is paying for one's girlfriend's abortion).
