Those are good thought experiments that really bring clarity to the issues. Thanks for taking the time to lay it out. Is it naive of me to say that you should weigh in both the outcomes and the intentions to determine the degree of punishment?

In the second case, the guy who demonstrated clear malicious intent deserves a more severe punishment than the other two.
