Yes, yes philosophy and all that. Not really. There is, believe it or not, definitions of these things. And popular opinion. To science it, we'll remove it from the context of Destiny, as to remove bias.
Someone comes in your house. Steals your stuff, claims it as their own. They kill your pets, your kids, your wife. All you have is a closet in your room. Are they the bad guy?
