I read Pinker's letter of defense (linked) and was disgusted. Not because he did a favor for a friend, and not because contributed to Epstein's defense, but because he now regrets it

An ethical person does not regret telling the truth in a court of law, even when a bad person benefits from it. This is so important that it's one of the Ten Commandments
And a good person does not regret doing a favor for a friend, when the favor does not violate any ethical boundaries, or have any bad results (the result, here, is being an honest witness in court)
I have disagreed @nntaleb in the past for being too harsh with Pinker, because it seemed to me that Pinker was wrong but not dishonest. I have now revised my opinion
