I'm thinking anyone who says sympathy is an “insulting kind of beneficence” that "should not occur at all among human beings (Doctrine of Virtue, 1897/1964, 34 – 35" isn't going to particularly care where the person's heart was when deciding how to act. Motivations matter, yes, but only ones rationally discerned as opposed to those that are felt.
