Now how could a possible Lav D’orysa be equal to a Lav Sh’yesh Bo Korais, if texting is a D’orysa? You can say one might lead to the other as certain Mussar Seforim say, but you can’t say they are equal. Go review Masechtos Makos, Sanhedrin and Kreesus.

You are certainly correct but I don’t think you and Lomed Mkol Adam are truly disagreeing.

The Gemara in Nedarim 22a says lots of terrible things regarding someone who gets angry, as if it’s the worst of the worst. One of them is ?? ???? ?????? ?????? ??. Says the Rosh, and other rishonim explain similarly, ???? ???? ?? ???? ????? ?????? ???? ?????.

If I am inferring correctly from Lomed Mkol Adam, the intention was not that in a vacuum it is worse, but rather something along these lines.
