Agreeing that TIM was right about controlling the Reapers isn't the issue.
It's the issue of using a man you, at the very least, think less of than Anderson to represent that choice. If you want to convince someone to go a certain route, why would you use the lesser of two options.
To use my personal experiences: if my mom told me to do one thing and my dad told me to do something different, my experiences with both would lead me to choose my dad's route, especially when its something I don't fully comprehend the consequences of.
