Poorly worded Final J! Clue

Today's Final J! clue was worded in such a way that the answer they were going for
Spoiler
Good Samaritan
was actually incorrect.

The text of the passage never uses the word

"Good Samaritan" was accepted, but it wasn't necessarily what they were "going for." Alex's comments strongly indicated that "Samaritan" would have been sufficient, and perhaps even preferred.
