  • Let’s say a goal is a description of properties of a world state you would like to achieve. A goal can then encompass many possible world states, where unconstrained variables can be anything.

    So if you want A, that does not necessarily have bearing on B. So people might say that the ends (reaching A) don’t justify the means (causing B). However, I’d say they underspecified their goal. Usually, people’s goals are goal + all of ethics.
