So there’s three categories here:

Compelled Bad (the nuts)

Expedient Bad (the cheats)

Unaware Bad (the mistaken)

You and your friend agreed that nuts only comprise 2%. Your Kurosawan view posits the remaining 98% to be mistaken. Your friend said you’d need to carve out 10-30% for the cheats in the Eastwoodian view.

I think your friend actually holds both in mind - he is still saying that just under 70% of humanity is just trying to do what they think is right, and for some 70% can be a pretty optimistic estimate.
