It wouldn’t be a difficult moral situation on Harry’s part because he specifically thought of this exact circumstance in advance.
This may indicate that Harry has not through the relevant issues enough to appreciate this sort of moral dilemma. That said, this is a good demonstration of a possible failure mode of TDT/UDT-like approaches where they might end up leading to something that looks like cycles of revenge which they have precommitted themselves to.
Harry has not [thought] through the relevant issues enough
Of course he hasn’t, condition three up there is based firmly (or as firmly as anything can be based in such shifting sands) in some kind of fuzzy instinctual deontology. Harry isn’t perfect.
In formulating this, I realized what my mistake likely was, and edited the original comment.
