Of course!—but I am perpetually mystified why the caveat, rather than the ideal, is placed front-and-center. Should we not steer towards good, rather than away from harm?

(Of course, I know the answer to this already: we only see what we are. Those who contain the capacity for mischief and harm see mischief and harm. Those who are idealistic see ideals. Still, I have a very difficult time putting myself in others shoes!)
