Also, to generalize the point, All the actions that you cited are actions that are generally forbidden regardless of the means used. That's fine. The problem is that they were cited as counter examples to actions generally permitted but for

Yes, but that is a relatively new interpretation right? Funny how religions have a way to, at least sometimes, adapt themselves, to evolve there, sometimes, core truths, yet still claim to be based on immutable facts, long time ago revealed
