Kinda misses the point, no?
The question needs an answer, even if the person asking also has their own questions to answer.
Hypocrites shouldn't be taken seriously. If someone professes X should be done and is choosing not to do it, they belie their own stance.
People put far too much emphasis on hypocrisy. Being a hypocrite has nothing to do with whether you are right or wrong.
If a murderer says "murdering is wrong", does him being a hypocrite make that statement any less true?
