The same goes for manipulating people. Whether I know I'm doing it or not isn't the determiner of whether I'm doing good or ill.

Yes. But maybe there is a correlation that people who know what they are doing, are doing it more.

If that's true, then it would make sense to criticize intentional manipulation more.

Well, only if doing it is worth criticizing in the first place.
