"If we look at the complete set of all reasonable justifications for a particular choice, do any of those dehumanize others, regardless of intent?"

Can you do this with an "incomplete set?" Can you find at least one "reasonable" justification that can be interpreted as dehumanizing others? Absolutely. What if you do not have a complete set? Are we to forever wait to evaluate a particular choice? Or perhaps wait for a choice to emerge from the chaos of a panel of decision-makers?

Apply this logic to physical tools: hammers, knives, nails, shovels, chainsaws, nail guns, etc.
