No, I didn't miss that part, I just thought it was ridiculous. My questions were meant to be rhetorical to make a point. I wasn't actually looking for your answer, because as you said, it was already there. My point was that killing should never be okay, regardless of the reason, and it's silly to think that an omnipotent being couldn't realize a better solution.
I wasn't trying to correct you, I didn't misunderstand what you had to say, nor did I miss what you said. I just think what you had to say is ridiculous. Killing is killing, whether the killer thinks it was for a good reason or not.
