As Emile said, I was attempting to stress the point that people do confuse these, but it does not follow logically by any means (and isn’t even remotely implied by any reasonable moral theory I’ve ever read about other than “Obey The Bible” (If you accept that moral theory as reasonable)).
The second paragraph compares my distinction with “what this confusion would look like if it were about theft”; a reductio ad absurdum attempt of the conflation of risk-factors with moral deservingness.
Edit: On that note, I apologize if my use of the ”;” punctuation is nonstandard. I’ll try to be more careful in my use of it in the future.
