The underlying premise is that you can know what is right (such as me knowing what's right then eating cow flesh in the form of filet mignon for a year), but that by no means will necessarily manifest in your behavior. How about this?

The issue as to who or what may be a possessor of rights is not simply a matter of academic, conceptual interest.
