That makes sense. So it's easier to live with yourself if you pressed a lever than if you manhandled someone to his death?
Or do you mean that it's not even that it's easier to live with yourself, but that it takes mental gymnastics to even convince yourself that the situations are analagous -- like it takes mental gymnastics to look at a lambchop and think of sheep?
