            It’s possible for more than one thing to be bad, we don’t have to pick just one of the two.

            This is what they said; they implied the root comment was saying that two things couldn’t be bad or only one could be solved. But it didn’t. He said, paraphrasing, “there are two issues and I find this one to be far worse”.
