justify: may be preferred when the stress is on providing grounds that satisfy conscience as well as reason: an end that surely did not ~ such harsh means.


warrant: is especially appropriate when the emphasis is on something that requires an explanation or reason rather than an excuse and is likely to suggest support by the authority of precedent, experience, or logic: the deposits have shown enough ore to ~ further testing.        (注意是warrant不是warrent)


justify: 符合道理和良知，warrant: 提供理由和解释，有先例经验逻辑
