So Ethics professors should be “ethical” — in the common acceptation of the term?
It might be that, after all the time put into thinking about it, these professors do not simply accept the common sense that stealing is “unethical” but rather have developed their own value system in which stealing chocolate is perfectly acceptable.

Brilliant! This reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell, one of my favorite authors. I have seen similar disconnects among mental health professionals. People with mental problems seem to major in psychology, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they deal with their issues.
