If you have a very moralistic view of things wherein once someone does Bad they're beyond the pale of forgiveness or consideration then you end up being forced to deny sympathetic traits could ever cause Bad if you wanna stand with someone. Evil ends up being a sui generis pure failure of character.

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?
Me: A gap is a mere privation, and thus a non-entity, and thus cannot be explained because there is no thing to explain.

NO, says the subjectivist Bayesian, it belongs in minds. NO says the die-hard frequentist, it belongs in hypothetical infinite sequences. NO, says the propensity theorist, it belongs in magic metaphysical bullshit. I rejected those answers <curtain opens to reveal Logical Foundations of Probability>
