I guess the oxymoron is non-obvious.
Here's a couple extreme examples: I humanely slaughtered your family. I slaughtered your mother respectfully.
Followed by: "Why are you so upset?? I could have just opted out of slaughtering your family but I decided to opt into doing it respectfully."
I put that into familial terms to bring the context closer to home. We wouldn't stand for such language with humans. At the root is hubris and apathy.
