There is no such thing as choosing to do evil (when evil refers to moral evil) because the so-called “choice” to do evil (in that sense) is a failure of choice, not its exercise.

I think the way I learned it is that no one chooses evil -- one chooses what one perceives as good (not necessarily moral good here). Maybe a failure of perception? Tunnel vision?
Just a thought. I realize your background in this stuff is far more extensive than mine.
