Why did Graham Greene choose the name "The Destructors" rather than "The Destroyers"?

Graham Greene chose the name "The Destructors" instead of the "The Destroyers" for the title of his short story because the Wormsley Common gang works at destroying as if it were an act of constructing. "The Destructors" is a combination of the words "destroy" and "construct." To take apart an architecturally interesting house that has been partially destroyed by a bomb, they bring tools, including nails, hammer, a screwdriver, chisels, and a saw. These are the tools people use to build houses, but they employ them in creatively taking apart a house. They approach their task with the interest and dedication that builders would use to construct a house. As Greene writes of the gang, "they worked with the seriousness of creators—and destruction after all is a form of creation." In their minds, the destruction of the house requires the imagination and vision that a creator would have, and, in a way, their act of destruction of an old house paves the way for something new to take its place, even if it's just an empty lot. Therefore, their act of destruction can be looked at as a form of creation and of construction.
