We admit that the whole time, that's why we use the term "harm reduction" When one option would cause substantially more damage than the other, we should absolutely berate people for pushing totally ineffective alternatives that accomplish little other than increasing the probability of the worse option.

My heart goes out to those who want a no-evil option, believe me I'm one of them. But at some point we need to admit the alternative to lesser evil is greater evil.
