That's correct. And we can't draw false equivalences either; we should consider the scale of the wrong. For example, I would consider loss of life to be quite a bit worse than loss of Yandex.

That'd be a fine choice if it was actually the choice.

Instead you lose Yandex and all the people still die.

We should indeed. But we shouldn't use that to justify, excuse or dismiss any wrongs done that isn't at the scale of other wrongs.
