Yes, there is a big difference. I think that was Sam's point. We build tornado
shelters because tornados do damage, not because we hold them morally
responsible for their actions. Same with brain-diseased psychopaths. We lock
them up because they do damage, not because we hold them morally responsible.
We can identify them as the cause of the damage, so they were responsible as an
efficient cause, like a bullet, but they cannot be held responsible as moral
agents, Sam says.

How is it different to hold something responsible as efficient cause or
as moral agent? According to MoQ, everything consists of moral value, so
tornados, psychopaths and even molecules are moral agents.
