I dont think that refutes the point I was making.

Was Ivan a moral ruler? Can his morality as a ruler be separated from Ivan's morality a person?

The point Im trying to make is that that making dual and parallel judgments is a choice, and I think many people dont hold this distinction.

I think the more common view is that how a king rules is a huge factor in their moral standing as a human.
