This is so true! And another thing I've been thinking about lately. I think people (myself included) got carried away in the beginning because the writers did such an excellent job at contrasting Harvey and Mike as the heart versus head, with Mike tending to act with his heart and emotions and Harvey tending to be one for conscious thought and careful consideration. Which is very true of both their characters, but I think people tend to empathize more with the character that leads with their heart because they are more relatable? In Mike's case it isn't always a good thing. I actually think Harvey has a very, very strict code of morals/ethics. There are lines he absolutely will not cross, whereas Mike is still figuring those things out? I think Harvey is often misunderstood and thought to morally ambiguous because his ethics are already so set in stone, and we are slowly figuring out what they are. I have no doubt in my mind that Harvey would never, ever bury evidence. Mike, though... you know, given the right situation, the right motivation, and enough emotional investment? Yeah. I think he might. Which speaks volumes, because Harvey isn't necessarily painted to be a villain, but he is painted to be an antihero to Mike's hero.
