The idea is that you leave and go work on something else that makes the world better versus contributing to the borg.

Still a good chance it'll come to nothing and your efforts to help reform the borg if you stayed (even by a tiny amount) would have been more effective in making the world a better place.

It's definitely a trade off thats quite personal.

Unlike other personal trade offs people seem quite comfortable making this one on your behalf.
