You're the one calling "mass murder a "pragmatic solution" !
I know what I said. Under the definition you provided, yes, it was pragmatic. What I want to know is if you think it was 'decent and wise'.
Try to think of it like this: Per your definition, pragmatism may be thought of as the plan most likely to lead to the achievement of a particular goal. I'm trying to get you to understand that if the goal is an horrific one, pragmatism cannot be either decent or wise.
Kindly stop dodging the question.
