The quality of our action cannot be judged solely on the basis of the
result.

How else shall we be judged?

By our actions. Not by the results.

Not where I have ever worked. Results are what count, all else is pretty
much immaterial. Never heard of a salesman getting bonus based on actions.

If I fire random shots in the air and happen to kill somebody, who happens
to be your daughter, am I a Good Person or a Bad Person? If the person I
kill instead happens to be Osama, same question. If nobody gets hit but
we all enjoy the celebration, same question.

Seems to me you just described judgement based on results.

In my book, the answers would all be the same, independent of the result.
