Manchurian Candidate like?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Let us suppose Jack Ruby at trial testifies that he did not intend to kill Oswald but only intended to harm him and explains that is why he shot Oswald in the belly, rather than in the head. Let us also suppose you are on the jury and you have the task of deciding the issue of intent in this case and ask are you or are not deciding what Ruby believed and how can you read his mind?
Mens rea and actus reus Unless the contrary is specified, every criminal offence requires both a criminal act, expressed in Latin as the actus reus, and a criminal intention, expressed as mens rea. Mens rea is often described as the “mental element” in a crime. It can include what used to be known as “malice aforethought”, ie conscious planning or intent, as well as something culpable but less deliberate, such as recklessness or negligence.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Well, my beliefs are not set in stone. Like the world, they are forever changing. So I think not but I might think so later.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
