The first question that immediately comes to mind is that these virtues seem to be just conceptions. Can these concepts really be used for everyday practicality? An example of this might, once again, come back to courage. For Aristotle, courage is the appropriate response to danger. But is it always like this? It would seem that in some dangerous situations, the deficient vice of cowardice may be a more appropriate response. Consider a situation where you are walking alone in a dark alley at night. Someone confronts you, points a gun in your face and demands all your money. The correct response to this situation, for Aristotle, is courage, but what kind of courage? Is there an average courage rating for this situation? Perhaps the best thing to do is to be a coward and give up your money. Would it be acceptable or would it be a cowardly habit in response to danger? According to Aristotle, one is wrong if one does not face this danger with courage, but in reality this seems like the "right" thing to do.
