If 9 of my fingers were fine, but one of my fingers was broken, I'ld feel bad that I had a sore, broken finger. I wouldn't think: "Well 9 is more than 1, so I have to feel mostly good about my largely intact hands." That's using quantitative analysis in a cockeyed way.
That's why I don't believe in making lists of pros and cons to figure anything out. One item in one list might outweigh sixty items in the other list.
