Like scruples and integrity, he can't afford them. |
The thing about scruples, standards, integrity, and honesty is that they don't actually cost anything to acquire and to use, and unless you are in the comparatively rare position of something like standing up to a Hitler, their cost is mostly only inconvenience and foregoing shortcuts and quick profits. It's not that Gary can't afford them, but just that he doesn't like them. |
Agreed, the cost isn't money.
But take it as "Gary can't afford to acknowledge criticism of his work" because to do so would shatter his delusions of adequacy.
And thus his lack of scruples, integrity, and the rest of the virtues. |
Too true.
Not relevant, but I like it:-
Groucho Marx: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them, ..... well, I have others."
