But the fact that sometimes binary choices must be made, in the most desperate and extreme circumstances, does not mean that we should dedicate our attention and our focus to those extremes or model our day to day choices based on some kind of provable optimum. You often can't prove what is optimal. Sometimes you pull the lever and you don't get to know what the trolley did. You need to be able to do your best *and move on*, rather than fixating on spending that scarce time *ruminating*.
