True. You couldn't really expect Abe (or any mudokon) to be a paragon of virtue right off the bat. Thinking realistically, imagine how warped your sense of morality would become if you were born and raised as a factory slave. No education, no parental guidance, very little (if any) camaraderie from your fellows. Things like altruism and empathy would be pretty foreign concepts. The same goes for the sligs--they're so ignorant and cruel because they're conditioned to be that way, and anyone who tries to be otherwise is culled.
