While I do not know this man's thoughts, Strike, I strongly suspect that you are correct. I find such thinking to be abjectly stupid. As an individual, however, he is entitled to his stupidity.

What he is NOT entitled to do is to act on that stupidity in contravention to the laws/dictates of the polity he serves. I was only offering the caveat that, if he had provided a timely and fully equivalent alternative, he need not have personally rendered the required service.

However, if you find yourself repeatedly in situations where your personal beliefs and your public responsibilities contradict one another, the only honorable course is to resign.
