No we don't. Batman defies alignment (as the chart so handily shows), though tends to be an 'edgy' enforcer of only just laws (I don't think I've seen him take down anyone trying to defy a Homeowner's Association), and Judge Dredd enforces unjust law just as impartially as he enforces just law.

Alignment isn't motivation. Alignment is who your cause is literally aligned with.
