Citation needed. Claims like that can be used to proclaim the most hardened serial killer a saint. I mean if we just let them continue they might start saving people at some point, point me to any "currently applicable" evidence that says otherwise.

> Anyone halfway competent who is working on that as a goal has my near total support.
