No, they're not! If this were true, you may as well just condemn them--to warn others to watch out for the problem-person--and get it over with. The reason why you condemn the behavior is to encourage them to exert greater executive control over themselves.

If you condemn the person then there is no reason for them to try; if you condemn the behavior the person can redeem themselves by choosing better behaviors.
