The law also tells me not to give UI to my partner.
In fact, a particular law tells me to avoid giving UI, even when that 
means leaving MI in place (L75D2).

Unless you see that there is a dilemma here, there can be no advance. 
You must get it out of your head that MI is the worst crime. It is 
not. UI is a worse crime. And if a situation arises where you have to 
chose between giving MI and UI, the choice is not that one you thought 
of originally.
