No - thanks, that is interesting - however, as ever, nothing is as simple as it seems and I think you will find, if you do some research, that in the Georgian period, (late 18th / early C19th comes into this) that they fully accepted that these things would happen. Illegitimate children were commonplace - I've done a lot of family history research and not just me but every single one of the people I have corresponded with have illegitimate children in their tree. It gets to be a stigma in the Victorian period but for Georgians - they understood how things worked.
