I think it's that old essentialism trap: "I like this person, therefore they're a good person because I wouldn't like bad people, and therefore they wouldn't do that or what they did was okay, because they're a good person."
Which when you write it down isn't really the most rock-solid of logic there, but, well. People do it.
