Kind of late to get back to this, but
Real life trolleylike dilemmas are generally ones where creative thinking has already been done, but has not turned up any solutions without serious downsides. In such cases, deferring the decision for a perfect solution, when enough time has been dedicated to creative thinking that more is unlikely to deliver a new, better solution, is itself a failure condition.
