Okay, let's just back up here.

Grue is clearly the only possible choice for any self-respecting person.
Now, grue we know -- it's a type of monster.
But I am not aware of any monster called the bleen. So it stands to reason that is the adventurer's name.

We are asked to choose between the two.

So what is the case?
  1. Are we choosing which one we'd rather face? (That doesn't make sense if bleen is the adventurer...)
  2. Are we choosing which one we'd rather be?

It seems fairly obvious to ME why pdurrant favors the grue (according to #2). But Nate appears to be unconvinced -- he must believe #1:

Does it automatically follow that this is a choice the player makes? I thought it was philosophical...
