If a bus driver steers a bus towards a cliff, floors the accelerator, and has a hired mercenary kill any passengers that try to stop them, it is reasonable to say that the driver is trying to kill everyone on board. We don't need to know the driver's internal thoughts and motivations. It doesn't matter if the driver is shouting "everything's fine, I'm totally not driving off a cliff!" We can use our brains to judge their intentions by their actions.
