Some ends are so stinky; so their means are stinky like them.
It gets pretty simple: take personal glory. That is one stinky goal. The correct thing would be "I want personal glory ONLY if others didn't suffer because of me".

That we call "a goal surrounded by constraints". But if you're at that level already; the means you choose would be always cut in half by the power of constraints.

So ends justifying the means; is a big no no for me. No; nothing justifies shit. Poop stinks no matter what. And a person who likes to go the shitty way, will get a permanent stain marking him like a freak forever and ever.
