contents This is a critical response to some arguments and general recommendations presented in a discussion paper Four Levels of Ethical Engagement [EiM Discussion Paper 1/2018 University of Cambridge Ethics in Mathematics Project, https://www.ethics-in-mathematics.com/assets/dp/18 1.pdf] by Maurice Chiodo and Piers Bursill-Hall. Much in their article is based on certain observations about characteristic psychological traits of mathematicians and their patterns of behavior that I find to be in stark contrast to my own observations. I argue against their assumptions and conclusions using examples.
