to add fake catch lights to a subject, provided it isn't too conspicuous?
For example, you have a group shot, everyone in the pictuire has catchlights in both eyes from whatever light source you are using, but one is turned just a degree too far away from the light. Their right eye has a catchlight, but the left eye doesn't. Adding this catchlight would not be noticable to anyone who didn't spend a long time scrutinizing the photo or pixel peeping.
Would it be a photoshop or photography morality no-no to add that last catchlight in post?
