The idea, both in our case and in the case of some real or hypothetical inbreeding society when it comes to deference to tradition- is that these traditions produce ideal or improved societies. In that, a thing being morally wrong might be irrelevant . Many of us think that war is immoral ( not co-signing or asserting, just as an example)…but insomuch as we believe that a military and military operations are necessary to the function of a good state( or tribe…or even family) we’re going to build them and wage war.
That’s why a systems view offers more insight than a content view. We can see that two groups engaging in very different and often antithetical behaviors are both pursuing the same goals. That they agree in principle, but not in fact.
