In that case though, it's clearly inappropriate to use it in cases where you *wouldn't get the Reputation bonus*. Which you wouldn't for most of the pathological forms. I wouldn't object to including Geas (obey the law) as a -20 point disadvantage, but Honesty isn't it.

Edit: It's also routinely used in templates that are clearly intended to be active good guys - it's mandatory for Lensmen, called out as a "chivalrous" trait for the DF Knight and so on. It's pretty clear that GURPS doesn't intend it to be unsuitable to heroic protagonists.
