Like, thinking this person is/was awful in this context, but in some other context(s) they were ok or even good? Or does their bad actions/beliefs in one context irredemably taint their actions/beliefs in other contexts?<br/><br/>E.g., the 16th century composer Carlo Gesualdo wrote some interesting music, but he also straight up murdered his wife and her lover.
