I simply disagree. "Intent" without any positive step toward realizing that intent, much less carry it out to completion, means little in comparison to a real action.

I don't claim that words mean nothing, but we seem to be weighting them much too highly. Especially when we have actual actions to compare it to.

Intent informs the end result ultimately.

Seems to me we are weighting the reaction to the reaction to them too highly.
