Let's assume for a moment that this is actually true.
I will also assume that you are a reasonable, logical person.
If your statement is in fact true, would it not be reasonable to chose the one who will get us there more slowly?
If the choice is between sinking quickly or slowly, I would choose "slowly". Certainly better than going down too fast! (laughs)
Having said that, I don't believe that your statement _is_ true on its face. My opinion only.

Sort of like one feeding their children to the alligators, in the hopes that they would be eaten last.
