On a possible interpretation of the Abraham and Isaac story.
Abraham thinks of something stupid (i.e. non-thought-out) possible to be done, like killing his son Isaac, but he knows he will not do it, because he is able to think about it and understands that is is wrong (i.e. non-thought-out), and says that it is God that tells him not to, because there is every reason not act non-human, because humans strive to preserve humanity.
However, if someone has no connection to humanity, because they do not know it exists, if for instance, they were victims of genital mutilation as infants, they might naturally strive to preserve humanity, and can be led astray to value something else, like shekels, all at the expense of humanity.
