that's the kind of question you should really fire up the ol' inference engine for instead of having me fill in the blank but when you have an idea why that word would be there instead of the other one then you'll be reading it right

what people seem to keep ultimately tripping up on is that "avoid unintentional harm" really means "just show due diligence in trying to avoid it, which includes making an effort to learn from (the inevitable) failures"

I may even seriously raise the question of whether there even is such a thing as intentional harm, except in a few safely discountable extreme outlier cases. it's really not as obvious as it might feel

that certainly seems entirely insupportible to me, so naturally i'm very curious as to how you would support it

I just doubt doing what you know to be harm in the immediate scale without some underlying belief that it's for the good or at least justifiable on some wider scale is really that big a thing in normal psychology. everyone's got reasons.

it doesn't have to be anything more sophisticated than "he hit me first" or "I was just really really angry" or even just "well, we'd been drinking", but there has to be *something*

if you hit him because he hit you first, you intended to harm him if you hit him because you were really angry, you intended to harm him nobody hits anybody because they've been drinking, they hit somebody they wanted to hit for reasons that would have been insufficient otherwise

(well, I, um ... might know some actual iRL counterexaples to "nobody hits anyone bc they'd been drinking and ... idk, just felt like it" but since I already explicitly limited the scope of the comment to *normal* psychology I'll happily conceed they don't really count)

"i'd been drinking and just felt like it" describes a disinhibitor and an intention respectively

oh, this particular case is a genuine outlier. but generally yeah
