Let’s say that yesterday, someone broke your arm. Then, today, that same person broke my arm and my leg. Which situation is worse? The answer to that question is the simplest way to explain why one of Lance’s actions is worse than the other action.
Breaking your arm and breaking my arm would be equally as bad. Letting the Arrow go free and letting Ra's al Ghul go free is arguably equally as bad. However, somebody breaking my arm and my leg is worse than somebody breaking only your arm. They’re both bad, but one situation is worse than the other. Letting Ra's al Ghul go free and putting an innocent man in jail at the same time is worse than letting the Arrow go free. Again, they’re both wrong, but one situation is worse than the other situation. To sum up, doing two bad things is worse than doing one bad thing when one of those two bad things is the same in both situations. I honestly can’t think of a more simple way to explain what I've been trying to get at than that.
