    The potential harm in the comic is lack of buff dudes, the potential upside in the classic is more good people being alive.

      That does not make sense. What does “harm” mean to you? Less good is not “potential harm”. To put it another way, let’s assume you and I are completely independent and I have to moral responsibility to give you money. If I chose to not give you any money, you would not be harmed. If I gifted you $100, you would not be harmed. If I gifted you $20 you would not be harmed because I did not gift you $100.
