A synonym makes no claim to being identical. You are right in saying a synonym
refers to similar concepts. Ergo, honor and honesty are similar concepts, which has
been my point all along.

Each judges Quality according to their different life experiences. If you think 
my ideas are bad, just saying so doesn't make it so. You should offer some reasons
for your conclusion.

Thanks for the advice, but I see no good reason not to stick with it, least of all
because there are a few critics.
