A bad option doesn’t become a good option when a terrible option is present.

    why would you not choose the good option regardless? This makes no sense. I mean if good is not an option and its between bad and terrible I will take bad. Like if I break in the woods and can’t get to a hospital for surgery I rather have an impromtu splint than impromtu amputation.

      I didn’t say that I won’t choose the better (less terrible) option.

        I don’t get the point then? I mean yeah take the bad option but strive to have a good one on the table or to change the bad option to be less bad at least. By no means take the terrible one though or abstain from the 4 person vote where 2 people are gung ho to amputate.
