> Trying to avoid hurting anyone turns you into a person who would hurt everyone. Other than the citation needed, it is possible to avoid hurting _some_ people, with surprisingly minimal effort, even if you can never avoid hurting anyone ever. The black-and-white argument you've presented - in its many forms of "if 100% outcome is not possible, it's worth 0% effort" - exists purely to absolve people of the responsibility to try.
