Agree probably with both sentences. But still fail to pin down exactly where the argument I reported fails.
For act/omission I guess it might have sth to do with: I’m a human in the loop; if you induce me to not save sb, it doesn’t feel exactly the same as when you cut the rope and prevent the rope from saving sb.

Further, I deny that I “only somewhat begrudgingly accept [it] because [I’m]...guilty of using it for our [my] own defense.”
