On paper, the more dangerous one is Carlos Castaño, with a danger index of 83/100 against 80. But paper isn’t everything.

The index weighs violence, manipulation and intelligence, and subtracts empathy (the colder, the more dangerous). It is a reading for debate, not a sentence: the theory matters more than the score.
