Sorry, you misunderstood my post; it was too concise. Ignorance, as per buddhism, is the cause of our karmic traces, samsara, etc.. One may have the best intentions, but their innate ignorance affects their judgement of the situation, causing them to think that they act good, while actually acting the opposite.

There are very few people that when proven to have thought wrong, in spite of their best intentions, feel responsible for that. Typical un-exculpatory replies: "who would've known", "but everybody thought so", "but we were told so", "the consensus was", etc..

Righteous people make often that mistake too.
