> For what exactly? I’m not providing a solution for all societal problems, of course. For the specific situation we're talking about - come on now, I think that's pretty apparent. > Literally not spray her with a hose is a better thing to do than spraying her with a hose. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You're ignoring the second half of the question, which I'll repeat here: "that has any reasonable chance of resolving this issue?" If the goal is to stop her from doing the things that she is doing, then you're incorrect. Not spraying her with a hose has absolutely no chance of resolving the issue. Spraying her with a hose does have a chance of resolving the issue. It's not a happy or positive solution, and you can debate the ethics of it all you want, but as a way to get her to leave him and his business alone, it is clearly better than doing nothing.
