You were (I believe) making the point that two otherwise identical characters differing only with regards to where they are on the Law-Chaos axis wouldn't necessarily show much of a difference due to how poorly-defined the Law-Chaos axis is. And I was agreeing with that, on the basis that the L-C axis is a mish-mash of dichotomies that individually hold up but not collectively.
"Individualism opposes collectivism" holds up.
"Individualism equals chaotic. Undisciplined equals chaotic. Collectivism equals lawful. Disciplined equals lawful. Lawful opposes chaos. Therefore, disciplined opposes individualism." does not hold up.
