The meaning of "blind obedience"

Blind obedience」原來並不指「盲目」服從或「盲從」--
... The expression "blind obedience" signifies not an unreasoning or unreasonable submission to authority, but a keen appreciation of the rights of authority, the reasonableness of submission, and blindness only to such selfish or worldly considerations as would lessen regard for authority ...
中文似乎應該稱為「義無反顧」才對。
