Passage Summary: We shouldn't withhold praise from people who naturally do the right thing; they are just as good as people who have to fight against their bad urges.

Conclusion: It is incorrect to claim that people who lack the urge to do wrong do not deserve praise for doing right.

Reasoning: While resisting a bad impulse is considered virtuous, successfully eliminating those impulses altogether is just as virtuous.

Analysis: The statement in question acknowledges a common moral intuition—that resisting temptation is virtuous—to set up a comparison. The author isn't trying to debunk this idea, but rather uses it as a baseline to argue that 'extinguishing' desires is equally meritorious. In terms of structure, this is a premise that helps establish a standard of virtue which the author then applies to their main subject. I should look for an answer that describes it as a claim the author accepts but then builds upon.
