Right on.
Similarly, people often conflate something morally good with something morally bad and ask/argue ”If I mix the two is it overall good or bad?". Which similarly doesn’t matter.
The good should never be conflated with the bad. Otherwise, the good will just be used for rationalizing the bad...
(That’s not to say morality is not somewhat ambiguous. I just often see people trying to justify immoral behavior by doing this)
