Intentionism and sincerism go hand-in-hand; what the first has in common with the second is that it flies to defend all things blameworthy, whether extravagant and pernicious or simply mediocre and vulgar; in short, to be “sincere,” is to show oneself “as one is,” unconditionally and cynically, hence counter to any effort to be what one ought to be. It is forgotten that the worth of sincerity lies in its contents only, and that it is charity to avoid giving a bad example; the individual owes society a correct comportment, to say the least, which has nothing to do with the vice of dissimulation. Let us specify that correct comportment, such as is required by good sense and traditional morality, has as a necessary corollary a certain effacement, whereas hypocrisy by definition is a kind of exhibitionism, crude or subtle as the case may be.
