*TANGENT TIME*

By this argument, anyone who upholds that tenet is automatically in the right, no matter what actions they take in so doing
I don't know about that. I'm not sure that the actions of somebody would be considered right (by Eru) even if the individual in question was acting in the name of Eru. Some of the actions of Turin, for example, might fall into this category. (Even though its not in the context of Middle earth, the Crusades also come to mind as an example.)

However, it is certainly true that Turin never intentionally aided Morgoth, while Mim did.
