The phrase, The patient refused service, is not synonymous with, The paramedic failed to help. The English language makes it so that the two sentences do not mean the same thing. They both have different subjects performing different actions on different objects. Even in passive form the phrase, The patient refused service, still only transforms to, The service was refused by the patient, and does not involve the paramedic.
This isn't up for dispute. When an ambulance responds to a call they are under a legal duty to act. Failure to act is grounds for legal action. But when an ambulance arrives and the patient refuses service, that is no longer a failure of the paramedic to help. There is a very clear distinctions between the two phrases, and that distinction is potentially criminal. Why do you ignore that difference in meaning?
You yourself said that I'm more concerned with factual accuracy than morality; so why continue emphasizing the badness of an event that I view as inaccurate? Your dam analogy is not synonymous with my paramedic analogy. Stick with my paramedic analogy and then we can discuss the goodness or badness of it.
