So you'd stand idle as the super villain pyro puzzler proceeds to toss the innocent gooey eyed puppies, and even worse, the screaming bunnies, into the raging kiln?
We must always consider that for every set of choices there is the unspoken choice of killing the person providing said choice, which then nullifies the choice set. In this example, one can remove the choices and subsequent consequences of the unchosen baskets by hoisting the pyro puzzler by his own petard and pushing them in the kiln. By nullifying the morbid multiple choice question he posed, you open up the alternate choice of saving the basket of kittens, the basket of puppies, the screaming basket of rabbits, and also the basket of intestinal tapeworms that he had nearby.
