And I still fail to see what does that have to do with Leliana...
I think he's comparing Han to a potential Grey Warden. Not the best example considering the situation.
Han is different. Chaotic-neutral/good, as stated earlier. A warden is allowed to be extremist, so long as they achieve their goal, the end of the Blight. Could the Blight be ended without defiling the ashes? Yes, definately. Could it be ended despite defiling the ashes? Yes, again.
Corrupting the ashes, therefore, is as relevent as siding with the werewolves over the Dalish, or Harrowmont over Bhelen.
False conclusion.
It's a BW game, so no decision you make can doom you.
Just because you can win the game regardless what decision you make, doesn't mean that all decisions are equally valid (or should I say, equally logical).
The Warden is gethering allies in an effort to fight the blight.
The good will and gratitude of the Chantry will help a LOT more than the good will of a small, demented sect.
Heck, making the Warden a saint for passing the Guardians trails and finding the ashes seem perfecly plausible. Can you immage how more diffiult this would make things for Loghain? The Warden would enjoy Chantry protection.
And the healing powers of the ashes alone could change things considerably. They may even fix a wardens fertility problem.

Consequently, if word ever gets out that he defiled the ashes, he would be the most hated person on the face of Thedas.
Of course, Bioware completely ignored the implication of the ashes, but the Warden doesn't know nothing will come of it. Neither does the player playing for the first time.
