Allow me to present an analogy on why I believe that isn't the case. A computer, for instance, cannot think, reason, know, or care. It may have a goal and a set of instructions that are "through any means necessary, fulfil this goal." Or even if it were just "Fulfil this goal," it will likely not extrapolate any parameters for that. It does not care about the means at all, solely that it reaches an end.

The simple fact is that people aren't computers though. They care about the end enough that, by nature, they will have some level of care for the things that stand in their way. You can't compare people to computers because there is an entire array of traits that sets them apart. If you are fighting a computer, though, like our friend Kat here, then maybe you'd be right.
