The Great Race of Yith does seem to adhere to a standard of ethics, though a decidedly non-human one. Within the constraints placed upon them by their natural lack of familiarity with many of the trivial details of daily life a native of the visited place-time would take for granted (but which the traveler, possessing a superior intelligence, can usually pick up the bulk of in relatively short order), they appear to take some care not to disrupt the life of the exchangee more than what their studies necessarily entail.
