That's the the nature of a lot of moral/philosophical/religious beliefs. Full of contradictions, illogical, and eventually you'll come up with a scenario too challenging to be answered by rigid principles. The question is whether you can imagine the founders of a druidic sect convincing themselves working metal is wrong, or at least worse than using other naturally occurring materials.
Emphasis mine. I feel like the bolded word is the important one. If you get really attached to an ideology, but then at some point down the road find a bit of a contradiction you can kinda just try and rationalize it or deal with it, but when the elevator pitch to get me into it in the first place is blatantly flawed things fall apart a lot faster.
Fair enough, I like your conviction.Yes.
