I did get straight what you asserted.
Show me the discrepancy.

My argument was that two people could act similarly, but with different thoughts, and that can make the difference. It shows that good or bad is not rooted in action alone.
Other than not including the implicit "rather than thoughts" in my sentence, it is exactly what you said.

Are you trying to make a different argument with me than the one I was actually disputing? I mean, this all started with me contesting your statement that "Actions, not thoughts, are what makes one a bad person." There was no scaling done, it was what makes a person a bad person. Degrees of badness is irrelevant in that conversation.
