[SCP Foundation] Has the Global Occult Coalition ever thought about toning down their homicidal tendencies?

After events like SCP-2002, in which the GOC possibly doomed humanity to extinction through their overeagerness to blow stuff up, has the agency ever seriously considered taking a more lenient stance on anomalies?

The GOC has parallels to the American Military- it's a militant world police force that rose to power in the aftermath of World War 2 because there were no occult powers left that could stop them. Crucially, it doesn't exist in a vacuum- there are literal anomalous cities and governments providing it with backing, it's part of a larger hidden society.

The GOC's ranks are already filled to the brim with anomalous entities and people who know how to leverage the anomalous. If they've gotten involved at all, it's because they already did the legwork to decide whether this is the friendly sort of anomaly that'll pay taxes to the Mayor of Three Portlands once they get past the language barrier, or the sort of anomaly that went on a genocidal rampage against the fairy city of Hy-Brasil in the 80s, against which they had to break out mecha and helicarrier gunships.

The issue, of course, is that they often fuck up and break something they shouldn't have, because when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail. But it's helpful to think of those fuck-ups in the context of the Ameriacan drone strikes that took out a wedding; a huge fuck-up, but a distant one committed outside the immediate "in-group," so no one in a position to provide civilian oversight really cares.
