Shooting ships and people

After I wrote the post about how people treat reds, my friend Arkady Sadik commented he thought most capsuleers perceive themselves as not shooting people in space, but instead shooting ships or at most the capsuleer pilot of the ship. He thought it was a psychic self-defense mechanism, to help people live with their image of themselves.

I am inclined to agree, based on my own perceptions.

However, this does beg a rather interesting question in regard to morality.

Which pilot is less evil - the one who deceives himself in order to continue killing people, or the one who is concious of his deeds and does them regardless? And which one is the more dangerous?
