I meant “honor” as shorthand for “never ever break your word”, yes.
Should one break stupid promises? I don’t want to add a clause to every promise saying “unless my future self decides the promise is stupid”; this seems to way underpower oaths.
It seems reasonable to me that if I make stupid promises, my subsequent choices are to behave stupidly or behave (as the word is being used here) dishonorably. Those aren’t great choices, but that shouldn’t surprise me: stupid acts often result in not-so-great consequences.

Recovering from stupid choices is a practical question for many of us.
