Your thoughtful entries along this entire thread are excellent and appreciated and really sum things up rather fairly, thanks!
One of the things I also feel is a bit of a problem in the well-intentioned concept that Bonhoeffer summarizes, is the problem with using the term "stupid" to describe the group and individuals. Its epithetical tone unfortunately leaves room for (as you denote) reverse definitions, i.e. Who is to decide what or who is stupid, when I think his intention was to show that it should never (for example) be considered appropriate to throw rocks through windows of innocents.
So right about the video-editor's choice of graphics also!
