Exactly my point. So what if evil exists? What are your standards for this anyway? Is locking the door "enough"? What if the lock isn't that high quality? Do you say it's their fault for not buying a deadbolt? I won't allow even the smaller percentage of blame to go to the victim there, and the idea that one could find any way TO blame them is just plain wrong. Was it careless? Maybe, but that does not equate to fault!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
