    Will they apply same logic to….lets say a 200 billion dollar hedge fund disguised as a cult religion?

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

          It also implies that one (the worst one) deserves more attention. In this case we should probably be paying attention to both.

                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”.

                Ranking issues in terms of how bad they are seems a fairly normal thing to do. It also implies that there is more than one.

                  I don’t agree with that interpretation.

                  They simply stated that ranking things by “badness” also implies a ranking in terms of which one of those bad things is more urgent and should be addressed first - not that one thing was bad and that the other wasn’t, or that only one thing could be addressed.
