My point is, leaving aside the moral and legal implications of the word (which is problematic, since at least half of the definitions in the dictionary I referenced use the law as context), one might say "That man is a murderer," even if the "murderer" is not legally culpable (totally looked that one up too). So when Kaneman said "Dude is a murderer IMO," he may or may not have been making a statement regarding the father's ethical or legal guilt.
At any rate, it seems the world may never know. |
If this wasn't in the News section I might have gone on to talk about the mistranslation of the not-to-be-named-here book's 'prime directives' too
