[I]f there isn't a good predominant intention, there must be a predominant intention that isn't good.
Did you borrow that from somewhere? I find it quite a clear statement of a common problem.
Not consciously. But being wrong and saying oops may have helped me take that lesson to heart:
When I was very young, I thought that the ingredients section of a food label had to list, as the first ingredient, something that comprised over 50% of the product. If I still believed this, it would be easy to prove to me that a five-bean salad was mostly kidney beans. Simply show that none of the other four bean types made up a majority of the salad, and there you'd have it!
