but the question is why does it not make sense (to you...since the intent in both situations is non-altruistic but the outcome is a good outcome no?
I mean in both situations the end benefits the doer of the action
or are you of the opinion that the benefit to the doer < than the overall good? is that your perspective?
I see the argument you are trying to make, but I will continue to ignore it, as it does not apply here
yes in theory, having less sith lords overall is better
but we also need to consider, that the opposing sith lord could keep you busy from causing harm to others, so potentially less harm is done overall. Also like I already said, striking him down could make you a lot more powerful. One more powerful sith lord could be a bigger problem than many weaker ones. This is the entire idea of the rule of 2, as you probably know only too well, your deception will not work on me!
