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.

Salesmen get bonuses and such based on consistant results. They
generally don't get fired for botching one sale, especially when they
have made many other sales.

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.

No, I'm asking a series of questions. If the answers are different,
then the person answering is basing their answers on results. IF the
answers are the same, they are answering based on actions. My next
statement:

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

should make it clear where I stand
