The shill is testing it's beliefs, often for the first time, from a position of moral jeopardy. The shill is already guilty of exercising a belief without first hand derivation of the underlying logic. This must be true or else they would not be surprised and offended, nor motivated to attack an opposing view. To attack ad-hominem and other ways that avoid the underlying logic.

The other thing: natural justice exists, everyone feels it, and it abhors wrath and ignorance, perhaps more than anything else. So of course the shill is desperate to escape indictment of such severity. Shilling is to fight natural justice. The shill is perversely empowered by the prospect of devastating self-censure to employ any lesser moral outrage (a wide gamut) for the chance at avoiding that big one, that suicide-of-self, implicit 'Damocles' in the very act of shilling itself.

It is a self serving conceit. A bindweed for the ignorant. Ego in it's darkest form, invisible to the wearer. Demonic in it's hidden intensity. The shill is looking to defend a soul already sold.

Now think about the concept of forgiveness. You might begin to glimpse the systematic power of what is often called, maybe lazily, Christ.

You could perhaps glimpse the undoing of a million knots.
