It's like at some point you have to just be the better man...ya know? The fact that there is nothing they can do to prevent it, AND the fact that you'll suffer zero negative reprocussions for doing it, makes it all the sweeter that you did NOT do it.
It's like on Schindler's list when Ray Fines character, the camp director, decides to "pardon" a jewish dude instead of blasting him in the face. If you were the director of a camp full of jayhawks, would you pardon them or blast them in the face?
