Saying please and thank you helps the other person feel valued, holding a door for someone is actively helping them, and chewing with your mouth open is unsightly.
What similar rationale even is there for insisting that removing your hat is good manners?

I wouldn’t be shouting out the Nuremberg defense if there was as straight a line there as in the other cases.
