Asking here because I don’t think this has a concrete answer… (or maybe it does? Please let me know if there is one!)
So a lot of times good people do good things and bad people do bad things… but what if someone with malicious intent unintentially improved the world? Or vice versa, someone with all the right intentions but made things worse for everyone
I guess this can be applied to a lot of politicians, but the question isn’t based on any real-life events
actions.
in a 9-ball game, in order to pocket the last ball, you need to call your shot. the intent is always to pocket the last ball, but calling your intent is the action that counts.
needless to say, most people suck at communicating.
Although I agree with your sentiment I have to wonder where your companions comes from.
According the UPA 9 ball is not a calling the pocket game:

And although it’s been literally years I’ve never participated in a tournament where this was the case.
Sorry to pull this on a tangent but I’m really curious where you’re from as this seems to be s local deviation (for either or both of us, not saying one is better or worse).
oh, you are right! it might just be a local rule here in east asia.
