ok i read that about 5 times and that sentence certainly , as a hypothesis can stand

but

equally i hope you recognize the contra positive of that sentence is true also

ie

That being said, it's obvious to me that some of the people who have caused the most good have had the best of intentions and some of the most selfish people have done the most harm if unintentionally.

so now that you and i hopefully agree intentions dont guarantee outcomes

i ask you

mother teresa or charles manson

my meaning....intentions do count for something
