Assuming evil people will be susceptible to such arguments is similar to assuming a sufficiently smart AI will automatically become good.. well, you didn’t say otherwise.
Assuming evil people will be susceptible to such arguments
I didn’t say evil people will be susceptible to such arguments.
I was naming three reasons that good people have to not be evil, not three arguments that would cause evil people to stop being evil.
I think Dumbledore was looking for the latter, though.
He isn’t going to find any, but that’s beside the point.
