I've noticed that lawyers' junior partners in crime -- PR operatives, of 
whom I am one -- also engage in immense amounts of self-congratulation 
because of the heroic number of hours they work.  Somehow, sheer fatigue is 
supposed to redeem the fact that the work performed is basically bullshit 
detrimental to the public interest.  Curious logic indeed, but no doubt 
derivative of the (completely twisted) Protestant work ethic.
