that's an odd use of the word "accordingly". you don't get to select a response that is an arbitrary overreaction and then treat it as normal.

even if the world is a violent place, there are other ways to deal with it. at least that's the case for humans and their power of thought.

but yeah, if the counterargument is that the people that underwent this training were either not human or not capable of thought...
