For those who buy into the setting as written, I'm sure it'll be useful to clarify things. For those like myself who dislike Morality for their various reasons, it's a large chunk of book which just fuels our arguments. Whether you'll get anything out of it, I believe, will depend on where you stand on the matter.
I think this is a fair and reasonable way to put it. The section on Ethics is meant to be a guide to Wisdom and Wisdom loss - if you already dislike Wisdom then this wont change that. If you do like Wisdom and want a better feel for how and why a character suffers a Wisdom degeneration check then Wood's write up works very well.
