Interesting… I would have guessed that the opposite was true, that shooting examples seem compelling because the connection between cause and effect is thought of as particularly simple and direct.
When I took Philosophy of Action, Thompson’s The a Time of a Killing was considered a seminal paper in disconnecting actions. When does a killing occur given that dying is separated from being shot? Adds steps to the causal chain.
Thanks, I didn’t know about that paper! Will take a look
