I've been pondering this... is it correct to say that a virtue (as listed here) need not necessarily have a value judgement attached to it? That is, you talk about things here like Righteousness, Charm, or Fidelity, which I think everyone can get on board with... but perhaps it's also reasonable to talk about, say, Cunning as a virtue of a Thief, or even perhaps Vanity as a virtue of a courtesan, even though we normally consider those "bad." (But perhaps this is because we don't like the goals of thieves or courtesans!)
