The point here is intent. Don't promote less than maximally accurate beliefs unless you hate someone so much you'd be willing to go and slash their tires.

Also, in terms of real-world consequences, sabotaging someone's thinking can be very, very much worse than just breaking their car.

I see.

Yet is it not conceivable to hate someone thoroughly, but not enough to be willing to sacrifice one's entire career/reputation/criminal-record by committing any kind of actual crime?

Of course it is. The quote is just pointing out that promoting inaccurate belief is doing actual harm to others.
