Health, you asked earlier who’s whim it should be up to.(!) It shouldn’t be up to anyone’s whim. If they want to have an article about an Hashkafic topic, it should be penned by an Adam Gadol. I wouldn’t trust it to be written by a writer based on an interview, but at least that. Hashkafa, especially something from the Ikrei Emuna, is not to based on someone’s musings.
By the way, you’ll constantly find in Chazal discussions of why certain people deserved to die, about people who were murdered by Rasha’im. In the Shaalos Tshuvos Min Shamayim, when asked about something of this nature, at first they did not want to discuss it. After repeated requests, the Sho’el got a response concluding with, these things are very deep. Who can take upon themselves to shoot off the hip ideas born from no place?
If an author would give some psychological advice I think the tables would turn.
