Thanks for clarifying.
I do believe that at least many moral questions have an objective/real/true answer, and maybe all well-formed ones do. (And I’m confident that at least almost all of the ones that are relevant in practice have a true answer.)
Ok, so you meant that the intent is for something which is good.
Then yes, people can have an intent for something which they think is good, and have their intent for it be because they think it is good, while they are incorrect, and in truth the thing they intend is bad.
The reason I was unsure is because I think there’s an idiom or something(?) where “good intentions” vs “ill intentions” refers to whether they intend to do what they think is beneficial to the target, vs to do something they think is against the target.
Thanks again for clarifying .
