Suggest some situations where hiring the hitman to kill a rival would be done with the correct intentions, then.

Because it sounds more like boilerplate you could use yourself to muddy things that aren't muddy.

It's ok to just say "killing your competition is bad". No moral ambiguity to it.



I don’t have to. Thats the prosecution job, which, as you point out, is almost trivially easy.


no, no. you totally misunderstood. You're arguing we don't know the specific circumstance so we shouldn't make moral judgments. My reply was to ask you to suggest some situations where hiring a hitman to kill a business rival would be morally ambiguous.

That would be the job the of defense, not the job of the prosecution. They would be using your argument. Whats the morally ambiguous case here?
