The exposure of truth sometimes results in tragedy. However, no matter how tragic the truth may be, it would be an even greater tragedy to avert one’s eyes from it.
Edgeworth, from Phoenix Wright (which I haven’t actually played)
If you are hiding in a basement from the Nazis, this isn’t true. If you are going to be tortured for the whereabouts of people hiding from the Nazis, you should also avert your eyes and avoid finding out where they are hiding. The fact that instrumental and epistemic rationality are sometimes at odds is another tragic truth.

Just remember, most people most of the time are not about to learn the location of a refugee just before being tortured by Nazis.
Which we should not avert our eyes from.
Very good point!
Fixed that for you.
