Unrelated to the topic: I never understood this, because only a fool thinks in non-absolutes
(it is possible to find examples of how Sith were smart and brave enough to see ugly reality for what it is, but I am not that deep into Star Wars lore)
Most of the "falling to the dark side" episodes was caused by jedis recognising the reality, they just not only weren't mentally equipped to face it, as they existed in peak of idealist thought, but the universe is also the prime example of the swerve and people on the dark side seemingly immediately kill younglings or massacre indigenous tribes or something like this, regardless of reasons they "fall".
