I acknowledge the implication of your objection and implied contradiction on my part, I simply recognize what I actually intended with my original statement and don't care to trudge through the entire matter of the Romanovs again because I failed to put a, what I take to be, unnecessary carve out to my concise line above. This isn't an oversight on my part, it's a product of not typing a thesis. Our primary struggle today is not with kings/queens/their successors. My day job also literally pertains to evaluating these matters of culpability in, not exactly the same, but similar, circumstances. Self-defense law, just-war theory, and other matters of similar philosophical/legal significance are not something I have a coarse understanding of. You and I have a difference of opinion on an empirical matter (practical importance of executing a monarchy's line), and one which neither of us are in a real position to provide the evidence to back up. Such is the way of history sometimes
And I did not say disengage because I did not intend it. I meant it as a shot across the bow about reading into statements too literally, debate-bro technicalities, and picking fights where they don't need to be. I'd rather not walk away with the verbal equivalent of PPB on the table.
