Pragmatism versus Principles.
Some people are more pragmatic, some people are more principled.
One of the few books I didn't read but saw the film was The Boys from Brazil (1978).
At the end of the movie, the pragmatic young Nazi hunter wants the list of cloned Adolf Hitlers from the elderly Simon Wiesenthal-type Nazi hunter who painstakingly compiled it.
When the elderly man played (by the immortal Laurence Olivier) asks the younger man what he was going to do with the list of 88 or so clones, the younger man says he and his organization will eliminate them one at a time to prevent another Holocaust (AKA XJK).
The principled elderly Nazi hunter asks, "What, no trial, no examination, no mercy?" [sic]
"Nope."
