Amiable Dorsai:
So, let me see if I've got this correct: you're saying that allowing a
malicious prosecutor to railroad an innocent person is "right", and
that risking one's position, reputation, and freedom to prevent that
from happening is "easy".

These are definitions of the words "right" and "easy" with which I was
not previously familiar.
