Any intelligent creature can have a greedy moment, a bad idea, an overreaction that causes chaos etc.  that wouldn't be alignment it would be human behavior. Alignment is all about what drove the behavior.   CE and CN people could be focused dedicated, meticulous and working towards some great power they want with one doing it for pure gain and the other doing it just because they want it.  It's the motivation that makes it alignment not the observable behavior.   A CN person could just be crazy and kill anyone who contradicts them.  That's not alignment it's crazy.  The CE person could do the same thing because people contradicting them make them look weak or upset them.  From the outside it will look the same.  but the actual alignment would be different. People will come to wrong conclusions often because they can't read minds.   Motivation is what you have to understand to know if what is happening is alignment.</p></blockquote><p></p>
