Things that affect your life = important, things that affect the lives of people you care about = important, things that have the ability to affect the way the world works = important. Who somebody is screwing = unimportant, whether or not somebody is actually sleeping with the person they say they are = unimportant because as we learnt before who somebody is screwing = unimportant.

That's basically it.

I'm going beyond the scope of the article.

What about incest (both in terms of "who sleeps with whom" and "what about the potential offspring")?
