Agree that non-violence and honesty aren’t always the best option, but neither is collaboration, and collaborative spirit is listed as a core value. I think “true in 99% of cases” is fine for something to be considered a core EA value.
I’d also add that I think in practice we already abide by honesty and non violence to a similar degree to which we abide by the collaborative spirit principle.
I do think honesty and non-violence should be added to the list of core principles to further promote these values within EA, but I think the case of adding these values is stronger from a “protection against negative PR if someone violates these principles” perspective.
