I'm not sure. But I think many people share my conception of him and I tend to just say stuff I think is true. For me it's not about ulterior motives, pragmatism or saying what's required it's just about being authentic and accurate for its own sake.
As for the last question... is it what I'd have everyone do in my place? Seems like a non-sequitur if you ask me as morally I'm very anti-Kantian and that question springs from a Kantian principle.
I'm quite sure neither Kant nor his adherents have the trademark on that principle. Nor am I suggesting that it should be the final determinant in your action. But if you justify an action by citing feeling justified it seems natural to ask whether it was also necessary or well chosen, at least where a difference in morals is being discussed.
