Not to be confused with anti-hypocrisy tutelage ("This what we SHOULD do, but it is not what a lot of people actually DO do"), this term refers to what you attempt to teach a fellow living creature during house-training.
A classic example of "SHOULD do vs. DOO-doo" would be an '80's-era "Garfield" cartoon where Jon Arbuckle was upset when Odie "left a gift on the carpet"; he then expressed great appreciation to Garfield for being housebroken.

Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"
Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."

The tree-hugger's equivalent of the endangered-animal-species advocate's "only elephants should wear ivory" saying. Hear, hear!
Nowadays there are plenty of "alternative" materials we can use instead of pulp-fiber in the production of lumber, paper, etc.... only trees should wear wood; we need them --- along with the plankton in the ocean --- for creating our planet's oxygen.
