Let him who can claim equal accomplishment cast the first stone. They are much better judges of when and where stones ought to be cast than people supposedly without sin.
Accomplishment is muddied by the concerns of time and place. Capability is strictly a better criterion, though harder to measure. Really the best thing to do is make stone throwing very socially expensive, so that people only throw stones when they are willing to pay to do so.

Capability is a bad input to a rule, because you can't measure it. There are many measures of accomplishment, but people can often agree when one is clearly more than another.

I just think that matters of character as a rule can't be deduced by looking at how others treat someone, only by that person's own actions, which are sometimes constrained by the former.
