"The impartial answer is that all deliberate killing is murder or that none is.."
That "impartial answer" is not only not accepted in military circles, but also neither in civilian law. There is a huge spectrum. "murder" is *unlawful* deliberate killing, which for example deliberate killing in self-defence isn't.
Your first example is stretching the concept beyond the breaking point, and your others are only a little better.

Sorry, you're misusing terminology. The "invisible hand" is the effect of the market - of people freely competing to efficiently allocate resources between alternative uses. When you instead refer to "owners with huge water rights", you're outside the market: "water rights" are a government largesse, not a market.

" What is the incentive for the BBC to spin

Yes, but it lets government bureaucrats play-act like they're entrepreneurs and brave businessguys and such.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
