In the first part, that when giving addresses that you've been invited to give, you usually consider a topic your audience is likely to be receptive to.
In the second part, I haven't read the research so I have no idea, but what you've said wouldn't surprise me. I'm not sure who is anti-compassion when combined with application of the law; some of us are perhaps afraid of compassion used as a standard on its own or a substitute for application of the law.
