But "throwing away common sense" in this case is the equivalent of throwing a log onto the fire. I can't really respect that kind benevolence (which really isn't all that prominent in Lincoln's motivations) if it flies in the face of good intentions. Plus, it happened way too early in the episode for me to align with the "desperation" angle; it's literally his first course of action.
