Criticism of The Concept
Deciding whether or not to obey an honor system can be a dilemma, especially if one places his or her personal financial self-interest above the interest of the institution he or she is patronizing, without thinking the future negative impact toward his or her personal financial self-interest. Honor systems are often criticized for promoting laziness and bad behavior. Some have suggested it is paradoxical to ask people to obey a law if there is no apparent law. See also Gregory S. Kavka's toxin puzzle, discussing the paradoxical nature of "rewarding intent."
