And not that I give a shit either way but there seem to be a lot of peoplewho weren't at the top of Everest who seem to think they knew the exact specificities of the event

Is a tricky one.. Seems a little bizarre they could still make it to the top but couldn't help him down. And frankly anything that encourages respect and mutual obligation rather than just stupid competitiveness gets my vote.

Must be all those years of gender studies...

Am with you on that. But I think it is very hard for people who weren'tthere experiencing the conditions etc to be able to make the call as towhether or not you could do something from 8800km below is all.

But yes, is a bit odd.

If i was a cultural studies person i'd say that it was still important to be able to talk about the potential ethical demands of a situation based on themost accurate information on has available regardless of our direct accessor not to those conditions.

Just as well i recovered from that..

True. But there will always be a disjuncture between the ethics of atheoretical situation and the lived experience of those in the corresponding"real" situation.
