This comment is meaningless without an effort at applying it to the situation at hand.
Its like saying, during a discussion of the assassination of Abe Lincoln, "Killing another human being is sometimes justified and sometimes unjustified, and many people have very subjective views based upon the circumstance of a particular killing, and upon reasoning which sometimes transcends pure logic." I mean, ok, true statement and all that, but its going to be completely rational for everyone else in the conversation to wonder
what in the world are you getting at?
