But necessary one. The bigger nightmare would be inaction through "Perfection in pursuit of the good".

Since the dawn of civilization this question has been asked and answered; it is neither new nor novel. Every philosopher has addressed it from ancient Greece to the present:

If imperfection is unavoidable, and injustice must be accepted as a result, is society closer to perfection by accepting an injustice to this scumbag? or to Teresa Halbach?
