CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@xgranade
In a meeting today, I recently raised the analogy to debates about torture. The debate gets muddy when people mix together questions of efficacy with questions of ethics and morality. Sometimes this confusion is deliberate but I suspect most of the time, it's just a lack of clarity on priorities. Whatever action we are considering, the first question should always be whether it's an ethical or moral action. The efficacy question should always be secondary.
