Silly question, but...

Does killing assasination targets have a greater effect on chaos than killing guards?

I ask because I hate both Campbell and Lady Boyle with a vengence and I'm trying to do a Low Chaos run, but I cannot bring mysef to let either one live. I spare the Pendleton Twins every time just because it makes the mission overall longer (and more fun) but I'm just wondering how much of my High Chaos is as a result of killing the other two.

In other words: if I kill both of those, is it equivelent to killing ten guards? Twenty? Or is their death the same amount of "chaos" as killing any other lone enemy?

Also, what about weepers? I tend to feel sorry for them and kill very few (they'll be dead soon anyway, right?) but there's several that guard runes and bone charms in very small, tight rooms (especially around Kaldwin's Bridge) and sometimes killing them is the only way to get to those. I may try stopping time and hurrying in and out, idk, but thus far I can't seem to access those runes and charms non-lethally. Just wondering how much they contribute to Chaos vs. guards, etc.
