What do lawyers call it? Something about “negligence”, maybe “reckless negligence”, to shoot at movement in the brush when you don’t know if it’s a human being or a deer.

This is the same - if you don’t know when it is a human being, you have no right to kill it.

Wonderful addition to my comment.

The amoral, greedy and willfully ignorant choose to play ostrich so that they do NOT need to come face to face with the truth!

Legalistic pluralism! Great analogy. Thanks for the post.
