It's actually the truest use of the quote that I've yet seen on this
list. Emerson was complaining about those who adhere to opinions that
they've expressed in the past solely for the sake of appearing
consistent in their values, which is basically what you're accusing
Steven of not doing.

If you haven't previously read Self-Reliance, I would recommend it as
a good (and short) read.
