Relationship between moral and practical

Isn't all that matters intent? But no, that doesn't seem right either still...

The key is to distinguish between intent and reasonable expectation. If you have good intentions but do not take the effort to think through the consequences of your action objectively, you are not being rational and therefore not being moral.

I am questioning why the inclusion of error at all? The possibility of error may be inherent in a multitude of processes that we perform, but that does not mean that we include that possibility as a defining element in the definition of the process.

Which is probably why it keeps screwing me up when it comes into the discussion. I'm too green to just write it off as irrelevent and end up bogged down for no reason :)

Thanks for the response. :)
