then, so long as one does not intend to M, one has no reason to  intend to E and reason not to intend to E.  This makes it plausible that  there is more reason (not to intend to M and not to intend to E) than  (not to intend to M and to intend to E).  This does not mean  that one ought (not to intend to M and not to intend to E) all things  considered.  For example, it might be the case that one ought (to intend  to M and to intend to E).  But it does mean that whatever pattern of  intention one ought to have, it is not to (not to intend to M and to  intend to E).  There is a superior alternative.
