And yet, those same cognoscenti will inevitably describe that dead person as having died while doing their duty.

As cognoscenti go, you have learned from the cognoscenti on killing, and that's what you got.

I asked the cognoscenti on loving, and they said your biggest responsibility to the human race is to avoid killing people. Killing people seems to change very little. Loving them seems to change everything.

Perhaps we could take a vote on whose cognoscenti are primary.
