1. there's a whole bunch of things called laudable withholds. A laudable withhold is always something that society expects of you. You have all withholds and all actions divided into laudable actions and laudable withholds and the laudable withhold goes along with the undesirable action and the laudable action goes along with an undesirable withhold. The U.S. population considers it laudable if you fire a gun at a man in time of war and considers it evil if you refuse to fire a gun at a man at time of war. Now in time of peace the same society considers it laudable to withhold firing the gun, and evil to fire the gun. (SH Spec 100, 6201C16)

2. if it's laudable to have done it, then it's not laudable to withhold it. All right, if it's laudable to withhold it then it must be coupled with, "You shouldn't ought to have done it, it shouldn't be done." So one of the pair of the overt or the withhold is always laudable and always desirable. And the other one is undesirable. A laudable withhold is an undesirable action. (SH Spec 100, 6201C16)
