    That first part, before “Wait no,” was the entirety of my initial comment. I was trying to be kind with what I thought was a correction.

But when someone is so wrong about something as critically important as the concept of “ends justifying means,” I cannot let it stand without prompt and thorough comment. It is my civic duty to reply, if not for the person I am replying to, then for the passers-by who may be reading.
