Giant robots shouldn't fight!

Wasn't the thing with Mindy more that she was a person obviously not fit for The Good Place, but her one act of legit goodness gained her enough points posthumously to offset her bad ones. The issue seemed to be more that she would likely have kept on living as a pretty trash person (as evidenced in when we see her) and that if she hadn't died so early she'd have erased all her credit back to Bad-Place level again?

That isn't the issue at all. It's because she died on the way to do the good thing, someone else picked it up and carried it on for her. She had good intent & good action, but died before it could have been fully realised. The good result wouldn't have happened without her initial good action. Does she get the brownie points

Look, you're provided with a book of rules that you need to follow, so really it's your own fault if you end up there. (Also the book has been passed down through thousands of years of sometimes-corrupt humans, and also there's a bunch of books that might be the real one, and there's a bunch of weird and outmoded passages in there that seem really immoral, so good luck with those.)

this arguement is deconstructed in the first ep
