In the philosophy of "most people are benevolent", the important bit is the "most".
It's not an excuse not to have collective defenses against malicious intentions and behaviour, or to excuse it away.
@raganwald This is a really good analogy!
@joepie91 For your amusement only, this does not get into the immune system defending us from ourselves. I hope you have a chuckle.
@joepie91 Most of my cells are healthy. But what do you know, I have an immune system. It spends most of its time defending me against external threats, but it also works to root out my own cells that go rogue.
I'm not turning off the defence against my own cells going rogue just because statistically nearly all of my cells will be healthy nearly all of my life.
