Regarding volitional activity (kamma) and results, i think AN1.314 and AN1.315 provide the bigger picture:
From AN1.314 (translation Bodhi):
“Bhikkhus, for a person of wrong view, whatever bodily kamma, verbal kamma, and mental kamma he instigates and undertakes in accordance with that view, and whatever his volition, yearning, inclination, and volitional activities, all lead to what is unwished for, undesired, and disagreeable, to harm and suffering. For what reason? Because the view is bad”
AN1.315 says the opposite.
This immediately makes clear the importance of right and wrong view.
It also makes clear, i find, that Buddha-Dhamma does not teach that good intentions have Always good results. i belief this is in accordance with reality.
If we are committed to doing good we can not rely on our good intentions alone. Our view must be right too.
Anyway, i find the sutta’s interesting.
