Wolfgang, don't you get it? It can be easily rationalised (as I am sure it will). The logic we will be presented with is as follows:

a) Monster Joe can't do anything right, so the less he does, the less chance of damage.
b) Don Shambote however does good; he has clones to incapacitate, threads to clog up, The Greater Good Of Mudcat to protect...So the more HE does, the better.

Nothing hypocritical about this logic.

Not much....
