Point taken. But forward and positive changes in history are often made by such a person that "abandons what is done for what ought to be done." Just think Ghandi or Martin Luther King Jr or the Founding Fathers of the US. Surely, Machiavelli would have thought Franklin, Hancock, Hamilton, et al as crazy.... risking their lives to build a republic based on federalism and checks and balances against absolutist tendencies
