11. If I see a homeless person and give him $5 so he can buy a sandwich
what does my motivation matter to him? He has some money for food, which is what he needs at that moment. I doubt he will care much whether my feelings about helping him were sincere or merely shallow. Seems to me that the action is what is important.
