People who profess to act entirely in the name of others are cowards and liars. They hope to escape accountability by invoking another's name, or so they think. They hide behind whatever convenient and popular "authority," denying personal responsibility for wrongdoing in the name of god, in the name of country, in the name of the republic, in the name of "public service," in the name of the "masa," etc.
If there is one thing I wish for those who claim to act in the name of others, it is that they do so for the rest of their natural lives, that they truly serve whatever greater good they ascribe to despite themselves. What a difference that would make.
