That is when you try to do something to try and accomplish something, then it doesn’t particularly matter what you are trying to accomplish, because you could try to accomplish anything as that part will have no impact on what fictionally happens.  It still matters what you try to do though.Which brings me to this-i kind of feel like we are having a philosophical discussion about intentional action.I flip a light switch and the lights turn on. Was my action to flip a light switch or to turn on the lights or to flip the light switch and turn on the lights. Was my intent to flip the light switch or to turn on the lights or to flip the light switch and turn on the lights,Until this is nailed down I don’t think there’s a clear difference between intentional actions and intents of actions. Which when applied to the reasoning above would show intent that does matter to the resolution, being found within what you’ve called the action.Thus, while I understand what you are getting at, I cannot agree till actions, intentions and intentional actions all get defined a bit more clearly.</blockquote>
