John,
   
  By "assuming noble intent", I assume until disproven, that someone's 
  actions or statements are without malice. 
  
  I see "good intentions" as the actions taken by an individual. Even 
  from noble origin, they may have deleterious consequences.

  Thanks for your comments.  

Roger

I don’t buy the notion that fixing things that aren’t broken is necessary to prevent their death.
