Ok. But should "purpose" be redefined as "outcome", as the parent comment suggests?
My thought is no, and that's why "purpose" and "outcome" aren't synonyms in the english language

I don't see where you are getting the word purpose from. I assume you mean goal. If you want to place any outcome in the place of the major or most important outcome, then I arbitrarily declare our government's goal is to move paperclips, as that is an outcome.
I need to study that list of logical fallacies, because obviously curing cancer is the purpose of chemo, and suggesting otherwise is ridiculous.
