Ok, good to know you weren't trying to sneak in politics. I agree it's not relevant.

Insofar as that's relevant, it just changes the values of X and Y; the absolutist "we can't do it because an innocent may be exonerated only after he is killed" position still has the same flaw.

Yes, if we're strictly logical this is true.
