These are victim-centric definitions. IMHO if you want to understand the motoves of the perp you need to see a clear difference between "intent to harm" vs. "intent to challenge". Like, go back a few hundred years in history and you will see a huge, really huge difference of social opinion between challenging someone to a duel to death vs. just back-stabbing them.
