I didn't say it negates anything, Pete, and in particular it does not negate the requirement to use your whole mind in the first of the greatest commandment. But there are other passages in the New Testament, as you well know, where Jesus berates people for slavishly following the words of the regulations while forgetting the intention. So yes, you have to reflect on it all, but the touchstone for resolving things are always those two commandments in my mind.
