Smoking is wrong. Society today dictates it. But society back in the 1950’s embraced smoking as cool. Everyone did it.

Murder is inherently wrong. It is wrong today and has been wrong throughout history.

The saying; the right way, the wrong way and the Army way pops to mind. For an answer, or action or whatever to be inherently wrong there is an inaccurate response given in a negative environment, which could be inherently funny as well.

Interesting question — I’d never really thought about it. I think inherently wrong means something is wrong in absolutely every single conceivable circumstance.
