So your answer is to ignore the terms of the dilemma? By the way, there was no such thing as a reformist commandant of an extermination camp. You either were deeply enmeshed in the system, or you were shot. No one wants to be a victim, but sometimes it is better than the alternative.

There is too big a difference between accidents and intentional or negligent transgressions. Think of it this way: you steal something, you are caught, you experience a little embarrassment and give back the 5 dollars. What is there to motivate anyone to reform their ways, if they have been malicious or negligent? Nothing. First, there is no real risk, since even if you are caught, it comes to little; second, society has just said to you that it doesn't take stealing very seriously.

Well, it is nice that you make funerals.
