The notion that one might be justified in behaving irrationally in the service of a sufficiently worthy end is incoherent. For if such action is justified, then one would be behaving rationally, not irrationally.
Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its reasoning to the argument above?
(A) A representative of the law, such as a judge or a police officer, ought not to commit crimes. For if representatives of the law commit crimes, they will be ineffective in preventing crime.
(B) One cannot intend to spill a glass of water accidentally. Spilling it accidentally means that the act will not have been done intentionally.
(C) One cannot live the good life and be unhappy. If one’s own neighbors see that one is unhappy, then they will see that one is not living the good life.
(D) Doctors cannot perform self-diagnosis, for they cannot objectively evaluate their own symptoms, and thus will be practicing poor medicine.
(E) One ought not to have both a cat and a goldfish. The goldfish is the natural prey of the cat, so it is unethical to place it at the cat’s disposal.

This argument proceeds by saying that:
Something cannot be done in a certain way. For if the thing is done, it is not being done in that certain way.
(b) is the only answer choice that follows this line of reasoning, and is the right answer.

=one is justified by behaving irrationally serving a worthy cause is incoherent;
=if the action was justified, then one would be rational, not the inverse.
ans (B) intending to spill accidentally, cannot be accidental, because it was intentional!
