I’m not sure what work “to the best of personal ability” is doing here. If you execute to 95% of the best of personal ability, that seems to come to “no” in the chart and appears to count the same as doing nothing?
Or maybe does executing “to the best of personal ability” include considerations like “I don’t want to do that particular good very strongly and have other considerations to address, and that’s a fact about me that constrains my decisions, so anything I do about it at all is by definition to the best of my ability”?
The latter seems pretty weird, but it’s the only way I can make sense of “na” in the row “had intention, didn’t execute to the best of personal ability, did good”.
I think this is conditioning on one problem with one goal, but I haven’t thought about the other good collectively (more of a discussion on consequentialism).
For best of personal ability, I think the purpose is to distinguish what one can do personally, and what one can do to engage collaboratively/collectively, but I need to think through that better it seems, so that is a good question.
My reason on the na is: have intention, no execution/enough execution, did good is more like an accident, which is the same with no intention, no execution, and did good.
