The fact is that it is not the same with dispositions as with sciences and faculties. It seems that the same faculty or science deals with opposite things1; but a disposition or condition which produces a certain result does not also produce the opposite results; for example, health does not give rise to unhealthy actions, but only to healthy ones: healthy walking means walking as a healthy man would walk.2

1 For instance, medicine studies both health and disease. Cf. 9.16.

2 i.e., it does not also mean walking lame.
