lol, but what if the 20 people are all murderers or the modern Stalin, Hitler or whatever and they end up killing you and a billion other ppl? As you don't know, anything is possible (of course, what I said is an extreme example. It could simply be a couple of CEO's of a company you don't like or whatever).

I don't think anyone can seriously choose an option from any situation unless they were living it. My main point still stands though... usually morally good and logical are generally the same thing when talking in absolutes... i.e. you have a limited choice!
