What dishonesty? Ferrari were a joke after Germany last year, insisting there were no orders. They think F1 fans are idiots.
I think allowing drivers to race is healthy when you have two competitive drivers. But they gotta be responsable.
All teams say they don't use team orders but I'll wager they will do if not by now, certainly later in the year. What Ferrari did was not new but the way they did it was extremely unprofessional. Makes the drivers look stupid as well.
I agree letting both drivers race is preferable, but if you have 2 guys in the same car who are very competitive in a race situation they will hit each other sooner or later. I guess the argument for team orders (from a teams point of view) is that it is another way of making sure both cars finish the race. Obviously the argument against is that us, as fans, want to see all drivers racing each other.
