Ok, well, bad guess on my part, then.
Indeed I don't see much motivation to seek out a scapegoat in a case where the real killer has been found and convicted.
I'm just saying...maybe they're just wrong? Sometimes that happens?
My interpretation of Wedrifid's point here is something along the lines of:
If you are going to advocate the kind of punishment sought against Amanda Knox, you have an obligation to hold yourself to high epistemic standards.
The evidence used to convict her fell so far short of that as to constitute dangerous negligence.
I agree with that too, but I still disagree on the "evil" thing.
I don't know about how the word "evil" should be wired up in our minds, but I do think that callously disapproving of the negligence is an appropriate reaction to have, and if I view use of the word "evil" as a part of that, I'm okay with it.
This would make Wedrifid's position understandable to me, which is otherwise mysterious. OK... updated.
I endorse this (and suspect wedrifid does too, but I need only speak for myself).
Yes, it seems about right.
