That's an aspect which must necessarily be factored in in
order to get a realistic interpretation of the big picture.

Yet when I ask you *why* it's necessary you can't provide a direct
answer.


The answer is that their lives are more significant than
their deaths.


Goo, of course, cannot say what makes their lives significant in any
way. And of course, Goo does not /really/ view their lives as
significant - only the products and services they provide.


Is that what you say when you are asked to justify killing the
neighbour's dog?

"His life was more significant than his death".

Yeah, that'll go over well.
