I think there are different levels of hypocrisy. Here's an analogy for you. Who's more obnoxious, the Longhorn who leaves a game early or the holier than thou, we're the best fans in the universe aggy? Both are leaving the game early, one is clearly more hypocritical.
That's not hypocrisy from the Longhorn though because we don't preach that we are the best/loyal/rowdiest fanbase. We do preach how we do everything the right way, so getting caught up in some improprieties would make us hypocrites. The person makes something hypocritical not the action.
