It is a mistake for us to paint Hitler as absolutely evil, as if we should be able to identify him as Evil on first sight. ... Evil people do not come ready-equipped with horns and a pointy tail.

*That* is the real danger of over-simplifying Evil: we cannot spot the real thing when it presents itself if we expect it to be obviously Evil.

When you decide which one of these diametrically opposed premises is the true one let us know. lol

The premises stand comfortably together and are not diametrically opposed. Think about it. LOL.
