I've always thought this quote was silly, because the first one is obviously better.

Paarthurnax did atrocities. Plural. If he were born good, less people would have died horribly, which is better all around.

The quote isn't about which is more good, because yeah, obviously it would be better if no one was evil, but the quote is asking which is more praiseworthy. Do you think the person who naturally is a hero saving everyone they meet is more honourable, or is it the one who desires violence and destruction by nature and rejected that to choose to do good instead?
