How does one determine what constitutes as an end, and how does one value it to offset with the means?

Re-run time Leo! In my example of the case of The Terror in the F.Revolution.
:-

The means was the arrest and summary execution of thousands of people believed to be counter-revolutionaries.

The end was defence of the revolution.


To me, that is a complete event.
Whether the defence was achieved is another matter and open to debate.
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
