How is Mind Over Manners defined, exactly?

This is a problem involving inconsistency between the lead and the Laconic. Specifically:

• Laconic.Mind Over Manners: It's considered impolite to read people's minds.
• Main.Mind Over Manners, as I understand it: Telepaths self-limit their powers so as to be seen as socially acceptable.

So, the lead, as I understand it, is a defiance of the Laconic. This subtle difference may affect how different example are played....any idea on this? Thanks!

It's wrong to screw with other people's minds. So the good guys don't do it.

The laconic is perhaps downplaying it a bit, but there is no inconsistency.

Agreed, no real inconsistency. However this restatement is a much better candidate for the Laconic than the current one.
