I'm not sure about this, because you would think that you have been a horrible person all the time, just because you snapped that one time. So, the thinking happens after the action in this case. I agree, though, that black and white thinking is more about the negativity of the mind. I think we judge the way of thinking as faulty or not not by matching it with the reality, but with its survival value. For example, optimism is not an accurate thinking in the sense that it doesn't match with the reality, but it motivates us to keep going and do changes ... etc. Optimism actually is a one of the biases of the mind, but we don't treat people for having it
