Robbing a bank competently

A gem:

Perhaps an analogy would be appropriate:

There is a competent and an incompetent way to rob a bank. You can either plan ahead, consider the worst-case scenario, and get in and out without too much trouble. Or you can dream about your successes, not consider difficult possibilities, and have the result be a violent, bloody mess.

Robbing a bank is still wrong, but pointing out that the robbers royally screwed up isn’t an endorsement of the rightness or wrongness of the act itself.

    I love it when hawks post on my site.  Saves me the trouble of making my own points.  Or maybe he’s a bank robber?  Or both?
