consequentiality: he claims that the net result of doing so would be negative. I do not agree with his opinion because of three main points. His opinion was unilateral because he did not put himself in poor countries situation. For example‚ “Since the boat has an unused excess capacity of 10more passengers‚ we could admit just 10 more to it.
