>>See Rashi on last week's parsha 23:21 s.v. "Ki lo yisa  l'pish'achem": 
"Shehu min hakat she'ainan hotin", implying that not all  angels are 
alike in this regard.<<

I think that is a misreading of the word "kat" in this case.  It does  not 
mean that there is one group of angels who never sin and another group of  
angels who do sin.  "Hakat she'ainan hotin" refers to the entire class  of angels 
-- in contradistinction to the kat of those who do sin, namely us,  human 
beings.
