Very true, and perhaps, as we Americans say, it's a case of passing the buck (i.e. deferring responsibility and foisting it off on someone else. For example, instead of executing a prisoner, handing them over to the nearest friendly settlement (where said prisoner will probably hang anyway). But- and maybe this is a moral/ethical cop out- at least said prisoner's blood isn't literally on my PC's hands. In other words,
I exercised my free will and showed mercy. If the next responsible party uses their free will to
not, that's on them.
