You may want to be a little more careful with how you formulate this. Saying that a good idea is one that has good consequences, and a bad idea is one that has bad consequences, doesn’t invite regress… it may be that you have a different mechanism for evaluating whether a consequence is good/bad than you do for evaluating whether an idea is good/bad.

A certain amount of precision is helpful when thinking about these sorts of things.
If you reread the sentence in which I discuss a regress, you will notice it begins with “if” and says that a certain method would result in a regress, the point being you have to do something else. So it was your mistake.
