Less bad is good, right?

Is it? If a serial rapist goes from 10 rapes a month to 5, have they done a good thing?

(and obviously, driving a car is not comparable to rape - just illustrating that less of a bad thing is not a good thing)

    Less bad is good there too

    And as you said, not a good comparison.

    Pollution going beyond the capacity of our environment is the issue, right? Every decent improvement is a good thing there. Not that we should stay silent with that, but we should be cheering for improvements and encouraging them.
