kakourgoi vs. lestai
Victor himself said all robbers are criminals but not all criminals are robbers. He solved his own contrived problem. There is no contradiction. It's a word choice.

IIRC,
vpw never solved it. He brought up the useless point of all "ROBBERS" being "THIEVES" but not all "thieves" being "robbers." (A thief steals. A robber is a violent thief who accosts you with violence or the threat of violence. A burglar sneaks in and steals. A pickpocket sneaks and takes what's in your pocket. A cutpurse is similar to a pickpocket, but cuts a purse's straps or cuts a hole in the purse. So, all of those are "thieves". Only robbers commit assault and battery, and possibly murder. So, the guys being crucified weren't pickpockets, they were threats to public safety.
So, the thieves (who stole by robbery, if anyone actually cares) were, by virtue of criminal actions. "evil-doers" or "malefactors". It's not inaccurate to call them either. It's like calling vpw a plagiarist (which he was) and a thief (because all plagiarists are thieves.)
So, duo lestai, two thieves, duo kakourgoi, two evil-doers. If another Gospel had called them 2 robbers, we would have people teaching 6 crosses were up there on Calvary surrounding the main cross. Ultimately, it's NOT IMPORTANT. The cross in the middle was important. The shape and construction weren't the important parts, either. Obsessing over either is missing the main point.
