“Growing a spine” is contradictory to “going low”.

You are allowed to go low against those who do that against you, there's no honourable fight if the rules are not agreed by both parties.

Yeah, that’s fair. I guess the hypothetical I had in my mind was if I’m at war and the enemy is torturing their POWs, I’m not going to start torturing mine because that would go against my morals. I was interpreting “going low” as abandoning my own values.
