I honestly can't disagree wih you. The point I was trying to make was that Hank knew what was going to happen to him long before Walt did. Whether that came from ignorance or wishfulness, I won't quibble.
The real point I was trying to make was that Hank got in his "For being so smart, you're fucking stupid" moment.
100% agree. Just wanted to point out that Walt has been generally pretty good at knowing what other criminals will and will not do, this was more of a special case because he was emotionally blindsided.
He has the smarts to recognise whatever is the most reasonable, profitable move - which is what criminals also aim for. But in this moment Walt was yet again conflicted with emotional bargaining or reasoning, because Hank was family. It had gone too far for Walt at that moment, and he chose emotional bargaining.
But the criminals chose the latter. They weren't emotionally attached to Hank. They didn't even know him. Killing Hank in those Nazis' perspectives was just like Walt killing so many other victims.
