You seem to be on a one track mind my friend, I wish i could respond better but i can't understand a word from your typing.
We have a word for you over here,.....
Amballados
One who is deliberately & pig headedly uncooperative in persistently pretending that he fails to understand the glaringly obvious with needlessly destructive results.
It is a curious point that such a complex concept should have a single word to express it.
Presumably there were or are enough amballadi (pl.) in Cyprus to justify giving them a word all to themselves. Even more so since there is also the fine distinction of takouromenos, an amballados of less than usual intelligence.
The typical amballados is one who understands what is required of him & has the ability or perhaps even the obligation to deliver, but despite on pain of death refuses.
He is frequently immolated along with his victims in these disasters of his own creation but will not acknowledge fault (assuming they survive in order to acknowledge anything of course).
His motives are often a mystery, perhaps even to himself. It has been suggested that if an amballados receives an instruction at gun point not to jump into a vat of acid from a source he does not want to be seen to obey, he would rather die in the vat than live in the knowledge of his obedience however forced.
Thus to get rid of an amballados , instruct him, firmly, to breathe.
